New Delhi: Aarushi Talwar's parents have moved the Allahabad High Court challenging the trial court order making Aarushi's parents an accused in the Aarushi-Hemraj double murder case.
Talwars' lawyer filed an application in Allahabad High Court on behalf of Nupur Talwar challenging the order of the Ghaziabad court on Monday.
On February 9, Rajesh and Nupur Talwar were charged with murder and criminal conspiracy in the killing of their teenage daughter Aarushi and servant Hemraj. Both of them have been charged under Sections 302 (murder), 201 (destruction of evidence) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the Indian Penal Code in the sensational Aarushi-Hemraj double murder case.
The special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court in Ghaziabad took note of evidence produced against the Talwars by the investigating agency and made them an accused in the sensational murder case. The CBI court reinterpreted the investigating agency's closure report and added Nupur as a co-accused.
Judge Preeti Singh had also rejected Rajesh Talwar's petition against the CBI closure report, which named him as a suspect but added that there was not enough evidence to charge him in the double murder case. The court sought fresh investigations to nail the culprits.
On May 17, 2008, Aarushi Talwar, a 14-year-old school student, was found dead with her throat slit in the bedroom of her flat in Jal Vayu Vihar in Noida. The next day, Talwars domestic help Hemraj's body was found on the terrace of their residence. Former domestic help Vishnu Sharma was named as a suspect.
In a twist in the murder case, the Uttar Pradesh Police then arrested Arushi's father Rajesh Talwar on May 23, 2008, claiming they suspected this to be a case of honour killing.
The CBI which took over the investigation, arrested Talwar's compounder Krishna on June 13, 2008. Vijay Mondal, the domestic help of one of Talwar's neighbours was also later arrested by the CBI.
However, they were released after no evidence could be found to link the trio with the case.
After spending 50 days in Jail, Rajesh Talwar was also released. The arrest followed polygraph test and Narco Analysis test.
