New Delhi, July 6
After a month of painstaking investigations in the Arushi double murder case, the CBI appears to be veering around the view that accused father of the teenage victim Dr Rajesh Talwar may be innocent. Sources claimed that till date not a single piece of evidence had been unearthed against Talwar. At the same time, the needle of suspicion was pointing towards the alleged involvement of Rajkumar, a domestic help of a family friend of the Talwars, and Talwar’s assistant at the clinic - Krishna. Dr Talwar is currently in judicial custody.

The sources said Talwar getting a clean chit in the case was not ruled out as none of the evidence had pointed to either him or Nupur Talwar’s involvement in the case that had attracted nationwide attention. The sources pointed out that the CBI officials simulated the possible sequence of events on the night of the crime to ascertain whether the Talwars could have heard the screams of Arushi. The statement by Arushi’s parents that they did not hear her screams appeared to be correct. — PTI
