Nupur Talwar

NEW DELHI: Nupur, wife of dentist Rajesh Talwar, was subjected to a second lie-detector test by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday.

The test lasted over four hours during which Nupur was queried about events before and after her daughter Aarushi’s body was discovered in her Sector 25 house in Noida.

The CBI said the second test was conducted as the first proved inconclusive.

A few days ago the agency had conducted a second polygraph test on Dr. Talwar as the first on him too was inconclusive.

Hearing today on bail plea

Dr. Talwar’s bail application is due to come up for hearing in the Sessions court in neighbouring Ghaziabad on Thursday. The CBI may oppose the bail application seeking continuation of his judicial custody.

The agency is awaiting a report on his second lie-detector test.

The dentist is at present lodged in Dasna jail in Ghaziabad.

In a related development, the National Human Rights Commission has served a notice on CBI seeking a reply to allegations by Krishna’s family that he had been kept in illegal custody by the agency. A similar notice has also reportedly been served on the Noida police.

Krishna’s family has alleged that he was kept in illegal custody by the Noida police from May 16 to June 2 and was again picked up by the CBI on June 3.

According to his relatives, Krishna remained in illegal detention of the CBI till his arrest was shown in the double murder case on June 13.
