Noida, June 16
For the past two days, the CBI has been conducting searches in Dr Talwar’s house (L-32), neighbouring houses and the green belt in the adjacent sector across the road for recovering the murder weapons and the cell phones of Arushi and Hem Raj.
The CBI also tried to reach from Krishna’s flat to Dr Rajesh Talwar’s flat. The agency believes that killers entered the house of Talwars from the terrace and not from the ground level on the night of murders.
While Dr Durrani’s domestic help Raj Kumar has been detained for interrogation, CBI is preparing for another narco test of Dr Rajesh and Nupur Talwar. The grip on Dr Talwar’s compounder Krishna has, however, been tightened. According to sources, in the light of latest leads and findings, CBI is preparing to take Dr Rajesh Talwar in a remand for further narco and polygraph tests. A manhunt has been launched for a friend of Krishna, who lives in Delhi and is believed to know where the weapons have been dumped.
The way CBI sleuths have been scanning the green belt in adjoining Sector-21-A with metallic and electronic gadgets, it appears the agency had picked up a hint from Krishna, Raj Kumar or some other source that murder weapon and cell phones had been hidden in the green belt near Sector 25.
That is why along with searching the water tanks, pipes and drains, agency sleuths were seen scanning the entire area very minutely for the past two days. Even areas in Sector-62 have been scanned for possible recovery of the weapons. However, focus has not been shifted from Dr Rajesh Talwar who continues to be treated as a suspect in the case.
Meanwhile, questions continue to be raised about the role of the media, especially the TV news channels, which seem to have gone into an overdrive in the spirit of one-upmanship coupled with the initial bungling of investigations by the Noida police.
The psychological ill effects of repeatedly showing the visuals of the 14-year-old girl and a 45-year-old domestic help on the TV screen, with all sorts of comments by TV anchors, are said to be having adverse effects on the impressionable minds of school children. Even parents and teachers are at a loss to explain the whole episode to them in a convincing manner.
