▶ Bulletin: Rajesh and Nupur Talwar; India: Investigating Officer Arun Kumar Still Believes Rajesh And Nupur Talwar Are Innocent; Huffington Post report on Kumard NDTV interview. "Forensic samples were never collected, and if they had been, then the case could have been solved very easily," Kumar told the news channel." Link provided to the NDTV interview;
Meghna Gulzar's latest film Talvar, which released
last week, seems to have stirred up a hornet's nest that had seemingly
been laid to rest for a long time. The film, which is based on the
infamous 2008 Noida double murders of 14-year-old Aarushi Talwar and the
family’s 45-year-old domestic help Hemraj Banjade, followed by the
life-long conviction of her parents Dr Rajesh Talwar and Nupur Talwar,
seems to have motivated the officer who led the CBI investigation to
speak his mind for the first time. Then joint director Arun Kumar, who headed the CBI investigation said in an interview to a national television news channel that he believes Aarushi's parents Rajesh and Nupur to be innocent. In an interview to NDTV,
Kumar, who is currently the Additional DG, Central Reserve Police
Force, said that he believed that the Talwars were innocent of the crime
because the there was no way they could have foreseen subsequent consequences, i.e. that their domestic help Hemraj's body would not be
found on the first day of the investigation. Hemraj's partially decomposed body was found by the Noida police a day after Aarushi's, from the terrace of the same building. "Forensic
samples were never collected, and if they had been, then the case could
have been solved very easily," Kumar told the news channel. He
also added that it was his theory that the Talwars' help Krishna killed
both Aarushi and Hemraj because Hemraj had objected to Krishna and
Rajkumar assaulting the teenaged girl. Kumar also dismissed the honour killing theories in an interview to The Quint........."I told them that there was no evidence to link
the Talwars to the crime," Kumar told the news channel, adding that it
was then that the closure report was filed.'
