"Talking about the Noida double murder case, fashion designer Masaba
told us recently, "I think the most shocking thing was the way the case
was handled. The one scene that shocked me was the bloody mark of the
hand that was washed away by rain, and that the pictures of such
important evidence were taken on a mobile phone. The sheer carelessness
with which the cop said that the parents did it -because they (the cops)
were just being lazy - is shocking. ........
Secondly, people who are invited for a debate on news channels have no
right to comment whether Nupur Talwar was weeping or why she wasn't
weeping, and say baseless things like 'she probably wasn't Aarushi's
real mother because she looked calm and composed'. Don't we all have our
own way of dealing with loss? While you may sob uncontrollably, someone
else may choose to stare into blank space without a single tear rolling
down.".........Not long after the movie's release, Nupur Talwar's father, BG Chitnis,
had written an anguished open letter on FB, asking for the case to be
reopened. About the letter, Masaba said, "You could be sitting in a
corner, minding your own business, and the next thing you know, you're
being taken to jail because someone decided to not do their job that
day. I agree with Nupur Talwar's father's letter in every way. It is
important to speak up now and demand a fair trial. If still found
guilty, then that is their fate, but the reason to jail them can't be
that they were the only people alive in the house with the others dead."

Bulletin: Rajesh and Nupur Talwar: India; Fashion designer Masaba Gupta tells the Times of India that she agrees with Nupur's father that it is important to speak up now and demand a fair trial - as she gets to the heart of the bungled police investigation. "If still found guilty, then that is their fate, but the reason to jail them can't be that they were the only people alive in the house with the others dead." (I heartily agree. Harold Levy.
