Rajkumar involved in Aarushi's murder: CBI |
Zeenews Bureau Ghaziabad, June 28: In what appears to be a breakthrough in the Aarushi-Hemraj murder case, the CBI on Saturday told a Ghaziabad court that Dr Anita Durrani's domestic help Rajkumar has confessed to his involvement in the crime. CBI officials told the Duty Magistrate at the Ghaziabad court that Rajkumar had confessed to switching off and destroying Aarushi's mobile. Further, he has agreed to help the investigating agency in recovering Hemraj's mobile and the weapon used to commit the twin murders. The court has, meanwhile, sent Rajkumar to 14-day CBI remand. While producing Rajkumar before the court, the agency had asked for a 15-day remand. The CBI had arrested Rajkumar yesterday after discovering human blood on one of his T-shirts that had been washed. Forensic examination confirmed the T-shirt contained traces of human blood. CBI Joint Director Arun Kumar informed the media that the T-shirt was seized from Rajkumar's house on June 13. The agency had questioned Rajkumar several times before placing him under arrest. The CBI investigations focused on Rajkumar after Krishna, compounder of Dr Rajesh Talwar (already in judicial custody), said during a NARCO-test that Rajkumar was "after" Aarushi, official sources said. It was immediately decided to place Rajkumar under arrest to enable the CBI to carryout his custodial interrogation, sources said. The CBI was also looking for any other substantial evidence which came in the way of forensic expert's opinion on his "washed T-shirt". The CBI Joint Director said Rajkumar had been subjected to polygraphy (lie) detection test on June 14 in Forensic Laboratory at the CBI headquarters which was followed by another similar test, psychological assessment, brain mapping and NARCO analysis. The tests were conducted from June 23 to June 26 at Forensic Sciences Laboratory at Gandhinagar. Kumar said the T-shirt had been sent to the Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics (CDFD) for further forensic tests. Asked whether the blood traces found on Rajkumar's T-shirt were matching either with Aarushi or domestic help Hemraj, he said, "For this purpose only, the apparel has been sent to Hyderabad." Rajkumar is the second person whose arrest has been effected by the CBI after the agency took over the probe on June 1. Noida police had earlier arrested Aarushi's father Dr Rajesh Talwar, a dentist, on May 23. Reacting to Rajkumar's arrest, his employer Praful Durrani said the blood stains could be due to boils on the domestic help's body. Both Aarushi and Hemraj were found dead at their house in Sector 25 of Noida. First Talwar, then Krishna and now Raj Kumar all confessed killing Aarushi n Hemraj... so who is the real killer here??? 😕😕 |
