Legal veil gone, Talwars to face charge
The wheel has turned the full circle in the Aarushi Talwar and Hemraj double murder case. With the Supreme Court refusing to the stay the trial of Dr Rajesh Talwar and his wife Dr Nupur, the most sensational unsolved murder mystery of the recent times has once again been resurrected.
The CBI’s closure report had enough ammunition to nail the Talwar couple on the charges of murdering their daughter and servant Hemraj.
This was exactly the reason why the special CBI judge has refused to accept the CBI closure report and instead took cognizance of the charges in the report to direct Talwars to face trial. The special CBI court took up the CBI report on January 3rd, 2011 and had made Rajesh Talwar and Nupur Talwar accused in the Aarushi murder case.
The Special CBI Judge while rejecting CBI closure report had then said that there was enough prima facie material in the CBI’s report to put the couple on trial for their alleged involvement in the twin murders and had issued summons to them to face trial on the charges of murder and common intent under section 302/34 of the IPC.
The Investigating Officer (IO) of Special Team of the CBI, AGL Kaul had submitted before the Special CBI court at Ghaziabad that “the findings of the investigation reveal a number of circumstances that indicate the involvement of the parents in the crime and the cover up. The investigation revealed several suspicious actions by the parents, but the circumstantial evidence collected during investigation has critical and substantial gaps. There is absence of a clear cut motive and incomplete understanding of the sequence of events and non-recovery of one weapon of offence and their link to either the servants or the parents. The IO had submitted closure report on December 29, 2010”. It said that Dr Rajesh Talwar is the sole suspect and servants Krishna, Raj Kumar and Vijay Mandal were not involved in the double murder at all.
CBI’s report had mentioned, “The findings of the investigation reveal a number of circumstances that indicate the involvement of the parents in the crime and the cover up. However there are a number of critical and serious gaps in the circumstances which make it difficult to string together the sequence of events and motive behind the gruesome murder”. Besides this, the IO AGL Kaul, an Additional SP level officer had enumerated several glaring anomalies on part of Aarushi’s parents on the intervening night of 15th and 16 May. 2008. They had failed to explain on many counts about their conduct before and after the gruesome double murder. The investigating agency said that it believed Aarushi’s father was guilty but did not have enough evidence against him. It was here that the court intervened and summoned Talwars to face the law.
The CBI’s probe revolved around three angles, (a) Involvement of intruders, other than servants, (b) Involvements of servants, Krishna, Rajkumar and Vijay Mandal and (c) involvement of parents. CBI failed to find any possibility of involvement of intruders. It said that any intruder other than the servants was ruled out during earlier phase
of investigation by UP police. This was further strengthened by various circumstances showing that there was no possibility of involvement of an outsider in this crime. There was evidence to suggest forcible entry from the outside. No evidence has come forth about motive on the part of any outsider. No contact was made by any outsider with either Hemraj or Aarushi’s parents.
There was nothing to suggest that the outer most doors has been latched or locked. Investigators found that only the Talwars and Hemraj were last seen the house before the crime. Their maid Bharti had seen the Talwar couple in the house after the crime. The most glaring fact noticed by CBI was that the doors of Aarushi’s room cannot be opened by an outsider without a key and the key always remained with her mother. Even the guard of Jalvayu Vihar had stated that no outsider was seen either going into the house of Talwar’s or coming out from their house on the fateful night. CBI countered in its Closure report that “No intruder would bother to dress of scene of crime and no intruder would hide the body of the victim Hemraj. Also an intruder will not put a white bed sheet over the dead body of Aarushi and lock the terrace door. Most importantly an intruder is unlikely to take liquor inside the flat after committing a double murder when they know that parents are sleeping in the next room”.
