CBI seeks Rajesh Talwar's custody from NOIDA court

NOIDA, June 2 : The Central Bureau of Investigation today demanded Dr. Rajesh Talwar's remand from a NOIDA court to conduct a proper investigation into the Aarushi murder case.

The CBI team on Sunday had registered a First Information Report in the matter, and has begun probing the case by first interrogating the dead girl's mother, Nupur Talwar.

Earlier, Nupur went and met her husband Rajesh, at the Dasna Jail.

The CBI team took samples of blood stains from the walls of the Talwar home and inspected the victims' rooms. The team also inspected the staircase, bedrooms and living room of the house in Nupur's absence.

The agency also cordoned off the area around the Talwar's home as a precautionary measure. Around 90 personnel of the Sashastra Seema Bal were deployed.

Fourteen-year-old Aarushi was found dead with her throat slit on May 16 in her house at Jal Vayu Vihar in Sector-25 of Noida. The body of servant Hemraj was found a day later on the terrace.

NOIDA Police arrested dentist Rajesh Talwar for both murders eight days later.

The Central Government on Saturday issued a notification transferring the case to the CBI from the NOIDA Police following the public's ire over the case not being handled properly.
