Aarushi, Hemraj killed by the Talwars: CBI officer tells court


Ghaziabad, Apr 16 (TNN): A Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officer probing the sensational Aarushi Talwar-Hemraj double murder case told a special CBI court on Tuesday that the murders were committed by Rajesh and Nupur Talwar.

CBI investigation officer AGL Kaul told the CBI court that it was impossible for someone to enter the house and commit the crime. Kaul said Aarushi was murdered by her parents Rajesh and Nupur Talwar.

No one from outside could have come inside the flat and committed the crime, the officer told the court.

Aarushi Talwar, 14, was found dead with her throat slit in her parents' home at Jalvayu Vihar in Noida on 16 May 2008. Hemraj's body was found on the terrace of the flat a day after.

During the previous hearing on April 9, an official of the Gujarat Forensic Science University (GFSU) had told the court that the crime was possibly committed using a golf club and surgical knife, adding that no outsider except the Talwar couples was involved in the murder.

While the injury on their heads was that of something like a golf club, the neck wounds were inflicted using a sharp-edged thing like a surgical knife, GFSU director Mohendra Singh Dahiya had told the court.

The injury marks indicated that their throats were slit after the murder, he added.

"I don't know who was attacked first, but they were certainly killed on Aarushi's bed. A golf club, or any similar thing like a hockey stick, was used for the murder, after which their throats were slit using some sharp-edged thing like a surgical knife," he had told the court.

The two were murdered after being found in a compromising position in Aarushi's room, he said.

After killing Hemraj, the murderers took his body on the terrace in a bed sheet, during the course of which one of them lost control, leading to blood-stained hand marks on the wall along the terrace door.

Dahiya told the court that GFSU joined the investigations after being approached by CBI in October 2009.

    Indians have habit of employing housemaids & houseboys/driver etc
    Europeans/americans don't rely on domestic/live-in help ,they believe in D-I-Y

    One of the main reasons for that is that in Europe/America the labour laws are strict. The labour laws and their implementation there protect the workers rights well and the minimum wages too are regulated by the Government. Hence people find it expensive to hire domestic help.

    In India labour is cheap and there seem to be no laws protecting domestic workers and even if there were nobody cares.

    No European/American lady stays at home to cook or clean for the family. The husband involves equally in housework unlike Indian males who feel it inferior to go into the kitchen or to bathe the children or to wash clothes.

    In the West, majority of works are done by machine. We are ants while West is elephant compared to development.

    CHI wants us to believe that Arushi's parents carried Hemraj's body to the terrace all by themselves.

    Well.. don't believe it but speculate - will you employ a live-in male domestic help while you have only child in the house that too a girl ?

    This is enough to drive away CHI or whoever that is haunting you.

    Its simply a case of honour killing. Affluent parents dont have time for children Servants exploit the children and this is result. Talwars are typical example of high society living but empty homes.

    Another Angle...
    What Hemaraj's 2 friends did with glasses & bottle of liquor inside the house the same night?
    Who let them in or out after the CRIME?
    "Kukri"- is sharper than a surgical knife used by doctors, which is used by Nepalis to slit the throat of enemies. Gorkhas know it better.
    Why 2 versions by 2 CBI investigators?
    Police had framed the Talwars with their illicit relationships earlier! According to them they silenced Arushi for objecting that!
    From the beginning the Evidence was neglected & later concocted to Frame Talwars,causing this Travesty of Justice.
    God Alone Knows what went inside that house on that fateful day.

    The whole country wants the truth to come out. For me it is clear that that was nothing but a honor killing and evidence was "Destroyed" by Talwars and supported by the Police. So how you can prove convincingly that the Parents are murderers? However there is no doubt going by circumstantial evidence that" Dr.Talwar must have found the couple in some sort of compromising situation and in a fit of anger must have finished both on the spot..This is high time they tell the truth. Anyway what Judge can do more unless the circumstantial eve dice is so strong? In this case it seems that there is no strong and linked evidence. Anyway we wish CBI all the best and the presiding Judge to be blessed by Divine influence to take a strong decision based on facts and circumstantial evidence..

    However much one feels about the guilt of the parents due to circumstantial evidence one must be careful before concluding that because even if there is the smallest doubt or lack of conclusive evidence one must not pronounce judgement for the risk/fear of convicting someone who might be innocent. That would then be a double tragedy.

    Lets hope for divine intervention that the Almighty provides some clue to the investigators by which the guilty may be caught, whether it is the parents or someone else.
