Aarushi murder: Talwars question order to try them

Allahabad: Rajesh and Nupur Talwar, parents of murdered teenager Aarushi Talwar, Wednesday urged the Allahabad High Court to set aside a special CBI court's order to put them on trial for the gruesome killing of their own daughter in Noida about three years ago.

Justice B.K. Narayana has decided to continue with the arguments Feb 25, an informed court functionary told IANS.

Ghaziabad-based Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Special Judicial Magistrate Preeti Singh had ordered Feb 9 that the Talwars be charged with murder, destruction of evidence and criminal conspiracy.

Aarushi, a Class 9 student of Delhi Public School, Noida, was found murdered under mysterious circumstances in her parents' Jalvayu Vihar Apartment in Noida May 16, 2008.

Their domestic help Hemraj was initially suspected for the killing, but his body was found on the flat's terrace a day later.

The CBI submitted its closure report Dec 29 last year.

Arguing on behalf of the Talwars, senior advocate Gopal Chaturvedi sought not only "further investigation" into the case, but also pleaded for "setting aside the Feb 9 order of the CBI court".

Blaming the premier investigation agency for leaving many loose ends in the case, Chaturvedi said: "Several important issues brought to the notice of CBI were simply ignored by the investigating agency which apparently carried out a very shoddy job and jumped to conclusions without caring to take the larger picture into account."

"I am confident that further investigation into the case will bring out the parents absolutely clean as they are being framed on totally flimsy grounds," he said.

why did someone try to clean the private parts of arushi?does this mean she was being abused sexually and the dna from the site would have immediately been identified. so the killer was a person who knows all this and is likely to be educated. who else but the parents could do this as they are dentists and will think of all this. also to be able to confuse the top crime lab in the country you need brains. i`m sure the nepali servants were never involved. it is the parents who did this the wet patch under the body shows that the cleaning was done recently otherwise it would have dried up in the hot may heat. was this considered by the crime agency?

Shame on the CBI for creating such a closure report full of inconsistencies. It is unbelievable that first the UP police messed up the case and now the CBI. To what level of detail has the 90 page rebuttal of the Talwars been even considered in the court ? Why did the second CBI team completely override the findings of the first one ? I strongly believe that the CBI is trying to protect the UP police, and more specifically, Gurdarshan Singh, IG poilce, Meerut, who made ridiculous comments about Aarushi in that famous press conference in May 2008. Why is there no action against the UP police - remember that 24 of the 26 fingerprints that they took were useless ? What is the accountability here ?

It is very disappointing that we mark people as guilty and then the onus is on them to prove their innocence, rather than the other way around. Their is no rule of law in this country and you have organizations like the CBI flouting their muscle and using it to their advantage.

The Talwars have every right to take this forward in the court of law and try and get justice for Aarushi

There are good lot of unanswered questions...1. why they did not shout or scream before their maid come on that day, if they were mentally shattered how did they perform well afterwards? 2. Why Mr Talwar did not search Hemraj each and every corner of the house on that particular day though he was quite sound to do all other things? yes I believe Indian judiciary system as well as HIS judiciary system disclose all the truth and it will be the another unbearable day for us to know that relationship never matters.

PP talwar,
Now which channel has given out this information that Aarushi was an adopted child????
Just because they had a kid after 11 yrs ,does not give the right to people to speculate so liberally.Put yourself in the parents shoes and you will feel the pain.

P.P. TALWAR - India
In pursuance of the honour killing of their adopted daughter Aarushi Talwar, the duo dentist parents, Rajesh and Nupur Talwar will keep moving the courts of law till the end, to save their skin. But the judiciary in our country being supreme, the law will take its own course.
