Insaaf ka Talwar.. or was it tarazu

The law is blindfolded and does not consider any aspect of the person before it except, what is placed in the balance that she carries. Once all facts are placed, you see which way the balance is tilted and decide upon the case. Now, it doesn't not matter to the law, that you are the "father" of the victim and according to you, it is impossible to think of killing your dear daughter - the apple of your eye. What matters is, when all the facts are before the law for consideration, Dr. Rajesh Talwar and Dr. Nalini Talwar seemed as much culpable for the double murder of Arushi Talwar and Hemraj (may rest in peace) as any other accused in the case.



I was filled with disgust when Dr. Rajesh Talwar was first accused of killing his own daugher and her "lover" Hemraj because he caught them "in the act". The media reports had gruesome details and I was wondering why don't the media weigh their words and stop maligning a beautiful relationship of a father and daughter. I felt sympathy for him as a "soft target" in this case and was all for a speedy investigation so that Dr. Talwar is acquitted and he can go back to his home and reconcile with the fact that his only daughter is no more. My heart went out for the Talwars and felt that it was an unfair media trial. No father deserved this. I was utterly shocked when the CBI filed its closure report on 29-12-2010. The facts and questions raised by CBI had no answers. No explanation could be given by anyone about certain stunning facts and it became more and more certain that the CBI was right in first place and the father might have actually planned and killed his daughter and servant in cold-blood.



Here are some facts about the case:
1. Aarushi Talwar and Hemraj died within hours of each other and the terrace door, that was always open, was locked for one whole day and guess what, Hemraj's body was found on the terrace.
2. Aarushi's bedroom has a lock, just like the main door and the keys were with her or her mother Dr. Nupur Talwar. The door was locked from inside and there were no marks of a forced entry anywhere.
3. Aarushi's body bore no marks of fight. Naturally any person does put up a fight for his/her life. Her body was nicely placed on her bed covered in sheets and no item in her bedroom missing or moved.
4. The cut on her neck was of a scalpel like object (usually used by surgeons for incision) and was done expertly. There was a mark of golf club at back of her head (so also in the case of Hemraj).
5. There were no finger prints of her parents anywhere in the room. Consider, on the night she died, her parents claim they were with her in her room. There ought to be few prints here and there. Someone had carefully dressed the scene of crime.
6. The Golf clubs were found at a later stage and found recently cleaned. The only object that was present was a flask of Whiskey, blood stained and bore finger imprints of Hemraj and another set. It seemed planted there.
7. Her parents sleeping in the next room did not hear any sound all night and the Internet modem was supposedly used to browse Internet till 3:00 am. So they were awake and not in slumber. Strangely they din hear any noise.
8.The moment the maid came in the next day, Dr. Nupur Talwar enters her daughter's room and cries saying "look, what Hemraj has done". Normally seeing your daughter in a pool of blood, takes you into shock that you are numbed for a while. With mind in such a state, nobody thinks of blaming the servant. It was a ploy to deflect the blame and confuse the investigation.
9. No one was allowed to use the terrace for a day and it was next day that Hemraj was found dead on the terrace. Turns out, he was killed within hours (if not minutes) of Aarushi's death.
10. Aarushi's private parts were cleaned and this was verified by doctors who performed autopsy. (What was reason for this)
11. Dr. Talwar's brother used political influence to get the doctors, not mention that Aarushi was sexually active in the autopsy report. (Sorry Aarushi, no offense meant). Some angle of investigation was tried to be misled deliberately.



There are some horrible cover up stories made by the family to explain these facts and none of them sound convincing to even laymen. Let alone the CBI experts. If we place all the facts, Dr. Talwar(s) and his family should be tried for the murder of his daughter and servant and for blocking investigation and obstructing justice. I do agree that the murder was so well planned and the crime scene was dressed up so that there will remain some missing links which would not allow the case to be airtight. Maybe Dr. Talwar will be acquitted for want of evidence. Does that mean he is innocent??? Thats a different question altogether.



So long....
