The Central Bureau of Investigation on Monday denied newsreports that claimed that Dr Rajesh Talwar and his wife Nupur were not at home the night their daughter Aarushi and servant Hemraj were killed.Some newspapers and TV channels had claimed that Dr Rajesh Talwar and his wife Nupur had booked 12 rooms in a hotel outside Delhi to prove that they were not in their Noida home the night Aarushi and Hemraj were murdered. The case has reached a dead-end.
As the court delivers its verdict on Thursday on the conviction of the Talwars in 2008 double murder case in Noida, here's a timeline in the case.
A senior police official, who had visited Dr Rajesh Talwar's house after the murder of teenaged girl Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj, on Wednesday deposed before a special Central Bureau of Investigation court in Ghaziabad.
The Uttar Pradesh police has told the Supreme Court that it was "prima facie satisfied" about alleged involvement of Dr Rajesh Talwar in the sensational double murder of his teenaged daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj before arresting him. In an affidavit filed before the apex court, the UP police submitted that it had conducted a fair investigation and observed all necessary rules under the Criminal Procedure Code before arresting Dr Talwar.
The Central Bureau of Investigation on Friday opposed the bail application of Rajkumar, an accused in the sensational Noida double murder case, saying investigations against him were continuing.The bail application of another accused Krishna, compounder of Dr Rajesh Talwar, father of slain teenager Aarushi, was also moved in the designated CBI court by his counsel R K Anand and F C Sharma.The arguments on this application would be heard in the afternoon.
The Central Bureau of Investigation has finally managed to crack the Noida murder case. Although the CBI has received vital information through the scientific tests conducted on the various suspects, the agency will take some time to put together the evidence and submit it for the trial.The CBI was hoping for a breakthrough during the tests conducted on Rajkumar. However, the Brain Electronic Oscillation Signature tests conducted on him failed.
The Central Bureau of Investigation on Friday arrested Rajkumar, domestic help of the Durranis, in connection with the Aarushi Talwar murder case. The Durranis are family friends of the Talwars.He was arrested after the forensic examination of a washed T-shirt belonging to Rajkumar revealed that it had blood of human origin.The CBI has already arrested Aarushi's father Dr Rajesh Talwar and his compounder Krishna for the murder of Aarushi and their servant Hemraj.
Krishna, an accused in the Noida double murder case, was on Saturday remanded by a Ghaziabad court to Central Bureau of Investigation's custody for three days, to facilitate his interrogation. The accused, who was working as compounder with Dr Rajesh Talwar and was arrested by the Noida police for the murder of his daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj, was placed under arrest by the CBI on Friday after a series of scientific tests.
It is official now. Krishna, the compounder of Dr Rajesh Talwar, has been made a prime accused in the Aarushi murder case.
During the scientific tests that lasted the entire day, various theories regarding the case came up. While some maintained that the CBI had not made any breakthrough in the case, some investigating officers said they will be able to corroborate the evidence based on the questioning done on Wednesday and the scientific tests conducted on Thursday.
Officials of the CBI had brought Dr Rajesh Talwar's coumpounder, Krishna, to Bengaluru in order to subject him to brain mapping and narco-analysis tests. Prior to conducting the scientific tests, Krishna was questioned at length by both the CBI and Forensic Science Laboratory officials, a pre-requisite before the actual tests are conducted.
'It is requested that photographs relating to the scene of crime relating to the first two days coverage till the discovery of the dead body of (domestic help) Hemraj taken by your photographers may be provided urgently to us,' an official communique from the CBI to photo editors said. The move comes four days after the CBI had approached the television news channels for providing the 'unedited' and 'raw' footage of the case.
The Noida police on Friday arrested Dr Rajesh Talwar, father of 14-year-old Aarushi, who was murdered on May 16 in their Noida residence, was arrested on Friday.The police had refused to disclose who may have been killed first, but stated that the modus operandi was the same in both the murders and the timing was almost the same.
After a month of painstaking investigations in the Aarushi double murder case, the CBI appears to be veering around the view that the father of the teenage victim and an accused Dr Rajesh Talwar may be innocent.
Krishna said he too wanted Aarushi dead as he wanted to take revenge on his employer. During the marathon narco analysis test at Bangalore recently, Krishna said Dr Talwar had humiliated him in front of many patients as he had goofed up during a surgery, which in turn led to severe complications.
In a startling relevation, Krishna, the compounder at Dr Rajesh Talwar's clinic who underwent a narco-analysis test in Bangalore on Thursday, said a second person was involved in the murders of the latter's daughter Aarushi and the servant Hemraj, but he was not forthcoming when questioned as to who it was
Doctor Rajesh Talwar, accused of murdering his daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj, was on Friday remanded to judicial custody for 14 days. The Noida police claimed to have cracked the case base on Dr Talwar's confession after they confronted him with questions based on information gathered from a 14-year-old friend of Aarushi.
Dr Rajesh Talwar, who walked free after spending 50 agonising days in prison in connection with the Noida double murder case, on Saturday said the family's stand "has now been vindicated". "I was in a lot of grief. I thank God and the CBI as what my family has been saying all along now stands vindicated," a tired looking Talwar told reporters.
There is no evidence against Rajesh Talwar in the Aarushi case, the CBI has said.
Konkona Sen Sharma and Sohum Shah play Aarushi's parents, while Tabu plays Aarushi's aunt. Irrfan Khan plays the officer investigating the case.
The fruitless pursuit, which tore the Talwars' lives and reputations to shreds, means that Aarushi's killers have not only got away but may never be found, says Sunil Sethi.
Patrick French, who profiled Nupur and Rajesh Talwar and the case against them in his book India, A Portrait, speaks to Rediff.com about their acquittal.
Additional Sessions Judge Shyam Lal in Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh) had sentenced the Talwars to life imprisonment on November 28, 2013, holding them guilty in the twin murder case.
'The fragility of this case is that taking a side could be a fallacy to do. Because you don't have all the answers. So how do you take one particular side?' Meghna Gulzar asks Vaihayasi Pande Daniel/Rediff.com
