New Delhi: Nupur and Rajesh Talwar will be tried for the murder of their 14-year-old daughter, Aarushi, who was found in their apartment with her throat slit. The Talwars had asked the Supreme Court to over-rule the verdict of a lower court that ordered the CBI to make them the main accused in the case. The Supreme Court has refused to intervene, but it has also said that its decision does not reflect any judgement on their alleged involvement in the teen's death. "There is no justice in this country," said Mr Talwar to NDTV today. The Supreme Court said it hopes the trial will be expedited.
Aarushi's body was found in their Noida apartment in May 2008. Twenty four hours later, the Talwar's domestic help, Hemraj, was discovered dead on their terrace. Mr Talwar was arrested by the Noida police but later released by the CBI which said there was no evidence of his involvement in the murder.
In December 2010, the CBI asked for permission to close the case on the grounds that its investigation had revealed no major breakthrough. The investigating agency said that it believed Aarushi's father was guilty but did not have enough evidence against him. A court in Ghaziabad handling the case then asked for Mr and Mrs Talwar, both dentists, to stand trial for her murder.
