Aarushi Talwar's parents misusing law: CBI to SC

New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has opposed a review petition by the Talwars in the Aarushi-Hemraj double murder case. The CBI has told the Supreme Court that the Talwars were misusing the law, and that they were trying to evade the trial court proceedings.

The CBI said that by evading the trial court proceedings, the Talwars were producing evidence that should be examined by the trial court.

The next hearing in the case is on Friday.

This comes days after the CBI took a U-turn on Nupur Talwar at a hearing claiming that it raided several locations to arrest Nupur but were unable to find her two weeks back.

This was completely opposite to what the agency had told the Supreme Court some days back, where it claimed that it was the agency's call to not arrest her as the plea against the warrant was pending. The CBI had then said that it knew about Nupur's whereabouts but did not want to arrest her as her plea was pending.

The court extended the non-bailable warrant against Nupur Talwar till April 30. The CBI had sought an extension of the warrant date and said that Nupur Talwar won't be arrested until the Chief Justice takes up the matter.

She had got a temporary breather from the Supreme Court. Her plea against a non-bailable warrant is still pending in the Supreme Court.

Earlier, the Ghaziabad court had issued a non-bailable warrant against Nupur Talwar after she failed to appear before a special CBI court despite a deadline given to her.

The Aarushi murder case hearing resumed in a special CBI court in Ghaziabad on Wednesday. Aarushi's father Rajesh Talwar was present in court with his brother Dinesh Talwar.

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.
