The Allahabad High Court on Thursday acquitted the dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar in the murder of their daughter Aarushi Talwar in 2008. While Talwars have been given a benefit of doubt in the case, a lot has changed for the residents of Jalvayu Vihar in Noida where the unfortunate incident took place.

A neighbour Ashish was among the very few who spoke about the murder. He told PTI, "No parent can do this to their child," he said before retreating into his L-Block house. One resident identified D Singh said, "If not the Talwars, then who killed Aarushi? However, we are happy that they have been acquitted." However, the helpers had another story. One worker said, "The rich can get themselves acquitted. In the Nithari case too, (Moninder Singh) Pandher was acquitted. The poor cannot expect justice." Another said, "Hemraj's relatives should challenge the acquittal at the Supreme Court."

Parents of Aarushi Talwar acquitted on Thursday

The Allahabad High Court today set aside CBI court's order and acquitted Rajesh and Nupur Talwar in the murder of their daughter Aarushi Talwar in 2008.

Therefore, the Aarushi Talwar case is an excellent opportunity for the judiciary to fix accountability on the investigators and prosecutor(s) who spearheaded the case of the prosecution leading to the conviction which is now set aside. The unfortunate reality in every case of acquittal, especially in cases as heinous as murder or rape, is that the victim and her loved ones have no closure on one hand and on the other hand, the accused is branded a criminal until his/her name is cleared. In itself, the journey preceding the acquittal is a tragedy, for all stakeholders on both sides.</p>

Aarushi and the Talwars' domestic help Hemraj were murdered in 2008

The Allahabad High Court is expected to announce its verdict today on whether dentist couple Nupur and Rajesh Talwar murdered their teenage daughter Aarushi and their domestic help Hemraj in 2008. The court will decide on an appeal filed by the Talwars challenging a CBI court order convicting them for the murder of Aarushi and Hemraj. The couple have been in Ghaziabad's Dasna jail since 2013 after a special CBI court in Ghaziabad convicted them and sentenced them to life imprisonment. The judge who found them guilty accused them of destroying evidence. A division bench of the high court comprising justices B K Narayana and A K Mishra had reserved its judgement on September 7 and fixed October 12 as the date for the verdict. Fourteen-year-old Aarushi was found dead inside her room in the Talwars' Noida residence with her throat slit with surgical precision on the night of May 15-16. Hemraj, 45, was initially suspected of the murder after he was found missing, however, body was recovered from the terrace of the house two days later. The police then suspected the Talwars and said Rajesh Talwar had murdered Aarushi and Hemraj after finding them in an "objectionable" position. Rajesh Talwar was arrested seven days after the murder by the Uttar Pradesh Police on May 23, 2008 after which he was lodged at Dasna Jail and let off on bail on July 11. In 2012, his wife Nupur surrendered before a Ghaziabad court before trial and was also sent to the same prison. The accusations enraged the Talwars and friends, who accused the police of framing the dentist couple in order to cover up a botched investigation. After the Uttar Pradesh police drew criticism for its shoddy investigation, then chief minister Mayawati handed over the probe to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The CBI initially exonerated the parents and suspected the Talwars' assistant Krishna, and two domestic servants, Rajkumar Sharma and Vijay Mandal, of the murder. In 2009, the CBI handed over the investigation to a new team, which in 2010 recommended closing the case due to critical gaps in the investigation. It named Rajesh as the sole suspect based on circumstantial evidence but refused to charge him because of lack of evidence. The court refused to allow the CBI to close the case.
