Witness in Aarushi case won over: CBI

Ghaziabad: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday submitted an application to the Ghaziabad court where it said a prosecution witness Kalpana Mandal has been won over by dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar, who are key accused in the Aarushi-Hemraj double murder case.

The CBI also refused to question Mandal at the Ghaziabad court in connection to the case.

Mandal worked as a maid at Aarushi's residence.

"It has been learnt that prosecution witness Kalpana Mandal has been won over by the accused and is not going to support the prosecution case. Therefore, she is not to be examined," said the CBI in its application.

Talwars lawyer Satyaketu Singh filed an application stating that the CBI refused to question Mandal “for the sole and oblique purpose of defeating the right of accused Nupur Talwar to seek bail”.

According to reports, Mandal took a 10-day break in May 2008 and went to her home in West Bengal.

She had referred a woman named Bharti to work at Aarushi's house during her absence.

Pertinently, the murders took place during Mandal's absence.

Bharti last week deposed as a key witness in the case.

The Supreme Court on Aug 13 rejected the bail plea of dentist Nupur Talwar in connection to the case.

The CBI had opposed Nupur's bail.

The apex court will again take up the matter for hearing on Sept 17.

Aarushi's mother Nupur surrendered before the Ghaziabad court on Apr 30. She has been in jail since then.

Teenager Aarushi Talwar was found dead, with her throat slit, at the Talwar residence in Noida in the morning of May 16, 2008. The body of Hemraj, Talwars' domestic help, was found on the terrace the next day.

The case has since spiralled into one of the country's biggest unsolved cases, with a prolonged investigation marked by admissions of lack of evidence and dramatic twists.

Nupur and Rajesh Talwar maintained that they are innocent, and are being framed by the CBI since the agency has not been able to track down the real killers.
