Nupur And Rajesh Talwar to leave jail today, ooffer dental treatment visits

Mangalore Today News Network

Ghaziabad , Oct 16, 2017 :  Nupur and Rajesh Talwar will walk out of a jail near Delhi today, four days after being declared innocent of murdering their only child Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj in their apartment in Noida in 2008.

 

The Talwars’ release was delayed because a copy of that verdict had not been delivered to prison officials last week. A signed copy was received by their lawyers on the weekend. Officials say it will be submitted to a special CBI court in Ghaziabad, which will then issue an order to Dasna prison, where the Talwars have spent the last four years.

The dentist couple has offered to visit the prison every fortnight to treat prisoners, say officials. They helped revive the dental department at the prison hospital and had been treating prisoners as well as staff, police officers and their children over the years.

"We were concerned about the fate of our dental department after their release. They have assured us that they would visit jail to attend to inmates every 15 days even after their release," said jail doctor Sunil Tyagi.

The Allahabad High Court on Thursday cancelled the life sentence handed out to the Talwars by a lower court that had convicted them based on circumstantial evidence.

The High Court likened the trial judge to a "math teacher" and a "film director trying to thrust coherence into scattered facts". The judges also said the CBI had failed to prove beyond doubt that the Talwars had killed their daughter and the conclusion drawn by the trial judge was "illegal and vitiated".

In what remains India’s most sensational whodunit, the Talwars’ daughter Aarushi was found with her throat slit in her bedroom just days short of her 14th birthday. The family’s domestic help Hemraj was suspected until his body was discovered the next day on the rooftop of the building where the family lived in Noida near Delhi.

In 2015, the Talwars were convicted by a lower court. They then appealed against that verdict in the Allahabad High Court, which has ripped apart the CBI.

In 2010, the CBI had said that it wanted to close the case and told a court that while it believed that Rajesh Talwar had killed his daughter, it did not have evidence to prove his guilt.
