Police remand of Rajesh Talwar ends

Ashok Kumar

Noida double murder accused handed over to jail authorities

NOIDA: Dr. Rajesh Talwar, accused of killing his teenaged daughter Aarushi and the family’s domestic help Hemraj, was sent back to judicial custody by the Noida police on Friday at the end of his three-day police remand.

Dr. Talwar was handed over to Dasna Jail authorities in Ghaziabad around 4 p.m., a few hours before his remand period was to end. As the police did not seek further remand, Dr. Talwar will have to spend seven more days in jail to complete the 14-day judicial remand ordered by a local court on May 23. He has already spent four days in judicial custody and three days in police remand.

Police sources said there was little point in seeking extension of his remand as the accused was not cooperating in the probe. Refuting the charge, defence counsel Mahender Pratap Singh said: “The police have failed to produce any clinching evidence against Dr. Talwar in the form of weapon of offence or blood-stained clothes to substantiate the murder charges. The police are attempting to frame an innocent man.”

The police have submitted an application in the court for conducting narco-analysis and brain mapping tests on Dr. Talwar. The matter is likely to come up for hearing this Monday. The police have insisted that scientific tests are needed to crack the case as the accused was “not coming out” with any substantial disclosures.

Early on Friday morning, a police team took Dr. Talwar to Hardwar in search of the weapon of offence and other possible evidence to establish his involvement in the double murder. Dr. Talwar along with his wife Nupur Talwar, brother Dinesh Talwar and a couple of relatives had gone to Hardwar on May 17 to perform the last rites of his daughter.
