New Delhi: The CBI
Wednesday sought to close Aarushi Talwar's murder as an unsolved
case, citing lack of evidence over two years since the 14-year-old
was found killed in her parents' flat in suburban Noida, official
said.
"The CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) has filed a closure
report in the Ghaziabad court, citing lack of evidence in the
murder," a CBI officer told IANS.
The CBI in September reconstituted its Special Investigation Team
(SIT) last year following reports that the vaginal swabs of the
teenaged victim may have been substituted.
During the same period, the Delhi Police Crime Branch recovered
Aarushi's black Nokia N72 mobile phone, a crucial piece of
evidence in the case, from Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr town.
Aarushi, the daughter of dentist parents Rajesh and Nupur Talwar,
was found murdered mysteriously in their Jalvayu Vihar apartment
in Noida May 16, 2008. The family's domestic help, Hemraj, whom
Noida police initially suspected for the murder, was also found
killed on their flat's terrace a day later.
Rajesh Talwar was arrested and kept behind bars for 50 days in
connection with the killings, but was later let off because of
lack of evidence against him.
After Rajesh Talwar was let off, the CBI arrested his medical
assistant Krishna and two other domestic helps in the
neighbourhood Raj Kumar and Vijay Mandal.
All of them were freed after a period of detention while the CBI
continued to hunt for material evidence in the case that caused
sensation in Delhi and became the talking point across the
country.
The investigating agency in January this year sought permission of
a Ghaziabad court to conduct narco-analysis tests on Aarushi's
parents. They underwent the tests in an Ahmedabad forensic
laboratory in February.
