NEW DELHI: A Ghaziabad Sessions court on Thursday rejected a bail application by Dr. Rajesh Talwar, arrested in connection with the murder of his daughter Aarushi and the family’s domestic help Hemraj, saying there were reasonable grounds at this stage to suspect his involvement in the case.

Opposing the bail application, the CBI counsel told the court that it was a blind murder case and investigations were at a crucial stage. Dr. Talwar’s counsel argued for his release on bail pleading that the CBI had not found any concrete evidence against him so far. After hearing both sides, the court rejected the bail plea.

The court observed that what was most astonishing was that Aarushi was found murdered in a room the keys of which were with Dr. Talwar and his wife. Aarushi had gone to her room around 11-45 p.m. on May 15.

The court order said: “Under the above circumstances, definitely there are reasonable grounds at this stage to suspect the involvement of the accused with the offence only for the purpose of bail matters.”

The court further observed that in the FIR registered on May 16 Dr. Talwar had alleged that his daughter had been murdered by his domestic help Hemraj and that he had disappeared since last night (May 15), while in his statement recorded under Section 161 Cr.PC he says that on May16 morning he had asked his wife Nupur about Hemraj and she had replied that he might have gone for some work.
