CBI Says Aaruhi's Murder Was Planned


NEW DELHI: In another revelation in the Aarushi Talwar murder case, the CBI claimed on Tuesday the crime was pre-meditated and planned well in advance.

The agency sources said the air conditioners at the Talwar residence were tampered with. Someone had increased the volume of the air conditioners to muffle the screams of Aarushi and Hemraj at the time of the murder, they said, adding that the CBI had found some fingerprints on the air conditioners.
Meanwhile, CBI director Vijay Shanker said, “The breakthrough is going to come soon.”

His statement came after Krishna, the compounder of Dr Rajesh Talwar, was given another lie detector test after the CBI felt he was hiding a lot of information from them.

“He has been giving us misleading statements and we are unable to understand why is he doing that?” said a senior official of CBI. The officer said on the basis of the information given by Krishna, the agency has conducted searches on the banks of Hindon river, which flows through Ghaziabad.

A five-member team along with Krishna had visited the Talwar residence in sector 25 of Noida on Monday night to confirm the facts revealed by him. Amongst the people who were questioned by the visiting CBI tem were Aarushi’s mother Nupur, her two uncles and Anita Durani. Aarushi’s grandparents were also present in the house at the time of questioning.

Forensic experts working on the case have found that the same weapon was used for both the murders. The experts indicated that Hemraj was attacked from behind as his skull was smashed on the backside of his head, while Aarushi was hit on the face.
