New Delhi:
Rajesh Talwar, father of teenaged girl Aarushi, who was murdered last year at her Noida home, on Monday said the recovery of his daughter's mobile from Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh is like a "ray of hope" for the unsolved case.
"We have been praying since last year. The recovery of the mobile phone is a ray of hope for us that the culprits will be caught. I thank god for this breakthrough," Rajesh said.
He said he was happy that some "breakthrough" has been achieved in the case.
Aarushi's aunt Vandana Talwar said the recovery of the
phone, which is the first physical evidence in the case, will
pave the way for getting to the real accused.
"The phone might not contain any valuable information after all this while but what is important is to trace it back to the first person through whom the phone has reached
Bulandsahhr. It is better than having nothing at all," Vandana said.
She said the recovery of the phone should help the CBI to reach the ultimate goal of solving the case.
Asked if the family was upset with the way the investigations into the case has been going on with the CBI not been able to garner any evidence, Rajesh said, "CBI is our only hope. We want the entire country to pray for the case to be solved as there is tremendous power in prayers."
More than 16 months after Aarushi's murder that had
hogged national attention, Delhi Police has claimed to have recovered the missing mobile of Aarushi from Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh.
Aarushi, the daughter of dentist couple of Rajesh and Nupur Talwar, was found murdered along with their domestic help Hemraj who was initially suspected of committing the crime.
Aarushi's father was arrested by Noida Police for allegedly murdering his daughter.
CBI, which started investigating the case after it was transferred to it by Uttar Pradesh government, had accused Hemraj and three others of killing the teenager.
CBI arrested the three men but gave a clean chit to Talwar. However, CBI could not file any chargesheet in the case, which led to the release of all the three on bail.
