New Delhi: Nupur Talwar yet again failed to make an appearance in the Ghaziabad court despite a deadline in the hearing of the Aarushi Talwar-Hemraj double murder case. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has now asked the court to issue a warrant against her.
The special CBI court had on March 14 asked Nupur to appear in court within 30 days. But the Talwars' counsel has sought exemption on the basis of a pending plea in the Supreme Court against facing trial.
Aarushi's father Rajesh Talwar was present in court for the hearing on Wednesday and an order was awaited.
The Talwars had sought a review of the Supreme Court order directing them to face trial in the murder of their daughter and domestic help Hemraj on the May 13, 2008. Their review petition will be heard by the apex court on April 27.
Rajesh Talwar and his wife Nupur have been accused by the CBI of being involved in the murder of their teenaged daughter Aarushi in May 2008.
Aarushi, 14, was found dead inside her Noida residence in May, 2008 with her throat slit and the body of the Talwars' domestic servant Hemraj was recovered from the terrace hours later.
An outcry against the shoddy investigation by Uttar Pradesh police had led to the then Mayawati government in Uttar Pradesh handing over the case to the CBI.
