New Delhi, Feb. 9: The CBI is now preparing to ascertain the identity of the finger prints, which were recovered on the scotch bottle that was found lying on Dr Rajesh Talwar’s table. It may interrogate people related to the Talwar family for this purpose, sources said.
The probe has revealed the presence of a scotch bottle on the dining table of Dr Rajesh Talwar, which had traces of the “blood of both the victims” on it.
According to sources, it was important to ascertain the identity of the finger prints, as it apparently indicates the involvement of inmates of the Talwar residence, sources in the CBI said.
The CBI, in its report, has clearly mentioned: “It was unlikely that an intruder would return to the flat to take liquor after committing two murders. When Aarushi was assaulted, the door of her bedroom was open”.
“As per the UP police diary, the scotch bottle was taken into possession on the morning of May 16 itself. In spite of best efforts, the finger-print could not be identified because of contamination”, sources said.
Besides, the entire data on Aarushi’s mobile was deleted after her murder, sources said, adding that a normal criminal would have no need to do so. “Who deleted the data and why, needs to be probed further,” sources said.
Besides, the agency is also preparing to find out the reason, which allegedly forced the dentist couple, who were the inmates of the house when the incident took place, to allegedly dress-up the crime scene, sources added. The agency may file a charge-sheet in the case after completing the probe on these angles, sources added.
Family members of Talwars termed the CBI special court order summoning the dentist couple as accused in their daughter’s murder case shocking. Talking to reporters Talwar’s sister-in-law, Ms Vandana Talwar, said: “As a family we are completely shattered. They (Rajesh and Nupur) have lost their child. Why are you maligning (referring to CBI and media) the family?” There has been lot of discrepancies on the part of the CBI that probed the killing of Aarushi and her family’s domestic help,” she said.
Terming the court’s order as a “big jolt”, Talwars’ lawyer, Ms Rebecca John, said the CBI, which had filed a closure report, first gave a clean chit to Mr Rajesh Talwar and then went back on it.
Meanwhile, the three servants of Talwars who had been earlier named accused but were granted bail when the CBI failed to find any evidence against them, are likely to file a defamation suit of `1crore against the CBI and those officials who allegedly “implicated” them in the case, their lawyer said.
A Ghaziabad court on Wednesday postponed to Thursday the hearing of the bail plea of Utsav Sharma, the man who had attacked Dr Rajesh Talwar, on January 25.
