Parents of murdered teenager Aarushi Talwar filed a protest petition in court against the Central Bureau of Investigations closure report in the case, alleging that there were "deliberate lapses" in the investigation besides noticeable non-mentioning of material pieces of evidence.
In this interview with Rediff.com's Sahim Salim, the Talwars' counsel, Satish Tamta, says that CBI's investigations were shoddy, have a lot of loopholes and some deliberate lapses.
The parents of Aarushi Talwar, who was killed nearly two-and-a-half years ago, moved a plea before the special Central Bureau of Investigation court in Ghaziabad on Tuesday asking for documents that the agency has filed along with its closure report.
In a new twist to the Aarushi murder case, the CBI has sought permission to carry out narco-analysis tests on Rajesh and Nupur Talwar -- parents of the teenager found dead under mysterious circumstances at her Noida residence less than two years ago.
A special court on Tuesday declined to hear the bail application of Rajesh Talwar, key accused in the Noida twin murder case, on the ground that it was not empowered to take up the plea.Special Magistrate for Central Bureau of Investigation's cases Sapna Mishra observed that the sessions court was competent to take up the bail matter of Talwar, who is at present in judicial custody.Counsel for Talwar Satish Tamta said that the defence will move the Sessions Court soon.

Right from the beginning, the State abdicated its responsibility in fixing the blame for the Hashimpura massacres or getting justice for the victims.
The families of the Muslim youth from Hashimpura who were shot dead 28 years ago had some committed supporters in their long struggle for justice.
Twenty-eight years ago almost to the day, 37 unarmed Muslims were killed in cold blood, an act of wanton violence for which no one has so far been held guilty. Jyoti Punwani and photographer Uttam Ghosh visited the Meerut locality after the trial court recently acquitted the security personnel charged with the killings, and found a town untouched by its grim past.
A new report has questioned the trial court verdict convicting Shahzad Ahmad in the Batla House encounter case, speaks in length about why the verdict in the Batla House encounter is wrong. The 24-page-report, titled Beyond reasonable doubt? The Conviction of Shahzad Ahmad which has been put out by the Jamia Teachers' Solidarity Association, states that the findings of the court are based on conjectures. Vicky Nanjappa explains.
