Brain mapping on Aarushi’s parents

New Delhi: Already facing flak for its investigations in Aarushi double murder case, the CBI has quietly conducted a narco analysis and brain mapping tests on the parents of the 14-year-old girl recently, a scientific procedure to which it was opposed in July last year. The CBI, which is maintaining a studied silence about the probe in the case after coming under attack as all those arrested walked out on bail, asked Aarushi’s parents -- Rajesh and Nupur -- to appear for these two tests, agency sources said on Wednesday.

Murdered

Aarushi and her domestic help Hemraj were murdered on intervening night of May 15-16 in Noida, a Delhi suburb. The CBI took the view in July last year that it did not find the need to conduct these two tests on Talwars who underwent polygraph test twice and Psycho Analysis Test since “nothing adverse was found against them”.

CBI Joint Director Arun Kumar, who has been at the centre of criticism in this case, had told reporters in July that these two tests were meaningless as the couple had passed their lie detector test successfully.However, as the investigation into the case apparently did not make any headway, the CBI asked the parents to undergo these tests.

“We had gone there,” Dr Talwar told PTI but refused to give details of the findings of the test. -- PTI
