10 reasons why Allahabad HC acquitted Rajesh, Nupur Talwar in murder of daughter Aarushi
Friday, October 13, 2017 IST
The Allahabad high court on Thursday overturned the conviction of dentist couple Dr Rajesh and Dr Nupur Talwar for the murder of their daughter Aarushi and their domestic help Hemraj for lack of material evidence and motive.
While a special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court convicted the Talwars in 2013, the high court has taken a divergent view of the facts of the case and acquitted the parents.
Here are the 10 reasons the high court gave for its decision:
1. CBI could not prove motive for murders
The high court said the prosecution suggested that the Talwars’ motive behind the murders was “grave and sudden provocation, caused on their finding their domestic help in a compromising position” with their daughter in her bedroom. However, it said, there was “not even an iota of evidence on record even remotely suggesting either Hemraj was assaulted in Aarushi’s bedroom or of any sexual activity between them”.
The motive suggested by the prosecution, it said, emerged from the crime scene analysis and reconstruction report prepared by Dr MS Dahiya on October 26, 2009, which is “based entirely upon his personal analysis and the incorrect information supplied to him by the investigating officer of the Central Bureau of Investigation to the effect that Hemraj’s blood was found on the pillow recovered from Aarushi’s bedroom”.
