Twist to Aarushi Murder:Talwars’ Ex-servant Also Died

In yet another twist to the Arushi murder case, it has come to light that a man servant formerly working for the Talwar family was found dead by the roadside by the police who dismissed it as an accident case.

The body of Nim Raj Kaushal alias Raju, who was reportedly working at the Talwars’ Jalvayu Vihar residence early this year to fill in for Hemraj, who was away in Nepal on vacation, was recovered by the police along with his motorcycle on April 15 from a roadside drain in Pandav Nagar area of east Delhi.

A case was registered under FIR No. 125 in Pandav Nagar police station, with the police theorising that it was a case of road accident. "The motorcycle must have skidded off the road since there is a steep curve at the spot," SHO Ashwini Jaiswal said.

"The motorycle (registration number KL 11 U 8629) was impounded and no one came to claim the body of the deceased," he said.

According to some sources, Raju may, however, have stopped to buy cigarettes when a vehicle hit him, causing his death, since a cigarette packet was reportedly found clutched in his hand.

The SHO insisted it was not true. "No, the cigarette packet was recovered from his pocket and he died due to negligent driving and not in an accident," he said.
