Arushi case: Judicial custody of Krishna, Raj Kumar extended

A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court on Friday extended by 13 days the judicial custody of Krishna and Raj Kumar Sharma, accused of murdering Noida teenager Arushi Talwar and the family's domestic help Hemraj.

The court fixed the next date of hearing on August 21.

Intense drama prevailed in the courtroom when the policemen accompanying the three accused handcuffed Raj Kumar and Vijay Manual while taking them back from the witness box.

Arushi was found murdered in her parents' upscale Jal Vayu Vihar apartment in Noida May 16. The Noida police immediately named Hemraj as the prime suspect but retracted when his body was found on the roof of the apartment the next day.

The police arrested Arushi's father Rajesh Talwar May 23, saying he killed his daughter in a fit of rage because he objected to her closeness with domestic help Hemraj. Talwar was released July 11 after 50 days of imprisonment, with the CBI saying there was no evidence to link him to the crime.

The CBI took over the case June 1 after a public hue and cry over the shoddy manner in which the Noida police had conducted the investigations.

in india only those who cannot bribe or pay fees of lawyers go to jail

I saw a report on Aajtak.. that looks so called scientific evidence CBI was saying are not working.. CBI clearly does not have any evidence against the 3 accuses.. they hv to submit the chargesheet eithin 15 days.. thier hand is empty...

CBI won't file chargesheet in Arushi-Hemraj murders


The CBI on Tuesday said that it would not be filing any chargesheet in the sensational Arushi murder case "for the time being" as investigation into the blind murder case was incomplete.

The decision of CBI will pave the way for release of Krishna, who was arrested in the case, on bail on expiry of the stipulated 90-day period for filing chargesheet, which expires on September 13.

Addressing a press conference, Deputy Inspector General of CBI Neeraja Gotru said the investigations were incomplete and the agency would not be filing chargesheet.

Gotru also said that the weapon of offence and the mobile phones of the deceased - Arushi Talwar and Hemraj - were yet to be recovered and further linkages proved.

"A Letters Rogatory has been sent to Nepal for seeking assistance in locating some witnesses and mobile phones of the deceased," she said.

The DIG also announced that the CBI will give Rs 1 lakh anyone giving further clues in the case, leading to recovery of weapon of offence and mobile phones.

Referring to the filing of chargesheet against Krishna, arrested on June 13, Raj Kumar, arrested on June 26, and Vijay Mandal, who was picked up on July 11, Gotru said CBI will "file report under Section 173 CrPC (chargesheet) only on the conclusion of the investigation.

"The full facts of the case will be presented before the court," she said, adding that the investigations into the case would continue as of now.

Gotru said Section 167 of the CrPC gives right to every person in custody to be released on bail if no chargesheet is filed against him within 90 days of the custody.

"If and when the bail application of the accused person in custody comes up in court, the full facts of the case will be presented before the court in a truthful, legal and professional manner by the CBI," she said.

Among the three, Mandal was released on bail by the designated court last week.

Confused Bureau of investigation

The accused: Krishna, Rajkumar and Vijay Mandal New Delhi: Conceding its failure to investigate the murders of teenager Aarushi Talwar and her family help Hemraj, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday said it was not charging anybody with the sensational crime and announced a reward of Rs 1 lakh for clues leading to evidence. Almost four months after Aarushi was found murdered in her Noida home on May 16 - Hemraj's body was found a day later - the CBI said it would not file a chargesheet in the case anytime soon and would not oppose bail for the accused. The investigating agency was to submit its chargesheet before September 10, to meet the 90-day deadline since the first arrest in the case - that of Aarushi's father Rajesh Talwar on May 23. "The investigation in the case would continue…. Section 167 CrPC gives right to every person in custody to be released on bail if no chargesheet is filed against him within 90 days of his custody," DIG of Police Neeraja Gotru said. Gotru just fell short of saying that the agency had no material evidence to press charges against Krishna, medical assistant of Aarushi's dentist father Rajesh Talwar, and Rajkumar, the domestic help of the Talwars' family friends. The third accused in the case, Vijay Mandal, who also worked as a domestic help in the Noida neighbourhood of the Talwars, was granted bail by a CBI court in Ghaziabad last week. Murder weapons remain untraced The CBI, which has been unable to trace the murder weapon and the mobile phones of Aarushi and Hemraj, has now declared a reward of Rs 1 lakh for anybody helping find them. "An award of Rs 1 lakh is announced to anyone giving further clue in this case, leading to recovery of the weapon of offence or mobile phones," Kotru said. Nepal links being investigated The investigating agency is also probing the Nepal links of the accused to get to crucial evidence. "A letters rogatory, a letter of request, is being sent to Nepal, seeking assistance in locating some witnesses and mobile phones of the deceased," Kotru added. The CBI, which took over the case on May 31 this year, has accused Krishna, Rajkumar and Vijay Mandal in the double murders on the basis of narco-analysis tests - the only basis of the CBI's probe that is not admissible as evidence in court. On Tuesday, a special CBI court in Ghaziabad rejected the bail plea of Raj Kumar. Krishna's bail plea has been deferred to September 19 by the court. Who killed aarushi, hemraj?
