Nupur, Rajesh Talwar leave Dasna jail to go to court in Ghaziabad in UP.
Nupur and Rajesh Talwar, who have been found guilty of killing their daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj, will be sentenced by a court in Ghaziabad shortly. During arguments in the court today, the CBI asked for the death penalty for the couple.
Mrs Talwar is unwell. Doctors who attended to her in prison said she has high blood pressure.

(Nupur, Rajesh Talwar guilty of murdering daughter Aarushi, domestic help)Judge Shyam Lal in his written order compared them to "freaks in the history of mankind where the father and mother became the killer of their own progeny." (
Aarushi Talwar case: 'freaks in the history of mankind', says judge)After the verdict was announced, the Talwars, who broke down in court, released a statement which spoke of their anguish but vowed they would "not be defeated."
(Anguished but will fight for justice: Talwars)The court accepted circumstantial evidence against them. There was no forensic or material proof to link them to the murders. The CBI professed the "last-seen theory" - which holds that the victims were last seen with the Talwars.
Investigators have argued that there were four people in the house on the night of May 15, 2008. The next day, two were found dead, and there was no sign of a break-in, signalling that the killers were inside the apartment.
