HC to resume hearing on Nupur’s bail plea

The Allahabad High Court will on Monday resume hearing on the bail application of dentist Nupur Talwar, accused in Aarushi-Hemraj double murder case of 2008 along with her husband Rajesh. 


A Ghaziabad trial court on Thursday charged dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar with the murder of their daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj. 


The court framed the charges in presence of Talwars in an in-camera session. 


Rajesh Talwar has also been charged with misleading the investigation in the double murder case. 


Special CBI Judge S Lal ordered that Nupur and Rajesh be charged with the crime under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 302/34 (murder with common intention) and 201/34 (destruction of evidence with common intention). 


Rajesh Talwar was also charged under IPC sections 203/34 (misleading police about the crime with common intention). 


The CBI had claimed the Talwars' maid, the guard and driver corroborate their 'last scene theory' according to which there were four people living in the house and there was no sign of a fifth person's entry at the time of the murders.

The CBI counsel had said, "Four people were there, two died and two were left. When a murder takes place in a closed house and two are dead, the onus then shifts on those who are alive." 


The CBI had also claimed that Aarushi and Hemraj's injuries were identical. "The golf stick recovered from the house matches the injury. The Talwars refused to identify Hemraj's body and gave false information regarding the crime scene," the CBI counsel said. 


The Talwars' counsel had, however, claimed there was no direct evidence to prove the charges that the CBI claimed against the Talwars. 


The CBI had also told the court in Ghaziabad that Rajesh and Nupur killed Aarushi and Hemraj in a fit of rage after finding them in a compromising position, a claim strongly refuted by the dentist couple. 


Talwars had contested CBI's claim, saying sex is no big deal in elite society and does not entail murders. 


Aarushi was found dead with her throat slit at her Noida residence in Jalvayu Vihar on May 16, 2008 and the body of Hemraj was recovered from the terrace a day later.

In Akhilesh reign, Noida-Ghaziabad left powerless and dry

Ghaziabad/Noida: The woes of the people of NCR's Noida and Ghaziabad areas have been compounded, thanks to the twin crises of power cuts and water shortage. Noida residents have complained of a significantly reduced supply of water. In sectors such as 10, 11, 12, 15, 27, 31, 32, 33, 34, 37, 56 and 71, the problem of reduced hours of supply has emerged over the past ten days. Many other sectors are reportedly receiving saline mixed with 'soft' Ganga water. "Our house is situated on the ninth floor and very little water reaches that level. The entire pressure gets exhausted on the lower floors. It is a big problem for us," Rama Pandey, a resident of a housing society in Noida Sector 62, said. Munna Sharma, president of Noida Sector-71 RWA and former office bearer of the Federation of Noida RWAs (FONRWA), said, "Normally, we are scheduled to get six hours of water supply, three each in the morning and evening, but these days, we are getting water for just thr...

GDA, builders unite to decongest Raj Nagar Extension

GHAZIABAD: Builders in  Raj Nagar Extension  and the Ghaziabad Development Authority  (GDA) have joined hands to put an end to congestion woes in the area. The move would give a breather to the people commuting through the area and builders believe that this will entice more people into buying a property in the area. "To execute the proposed traffic decongestion plan for NH 58 and other roads in Ghaziabad,  GDA  has decided to complete these works in association with Raj Nagar Extension Developers Association," said Gaurav Gupta, spokesperson of the Association.

UPSC toppers rely on quality for better results

Twenty six-year-old  Ravi Shankar Shukla  was surrounded by friends with a cake in the centre. It was not his birthday, but certainly not less than a birthday like feast also. Ravi had cleared his  civil services examinations in the first attempt securing an all India rank of 39. Unable to express his happiness, Ravi who was in New Delhi on Friday, said, "It's a moment which is worth living. I had always dreamt of serving my nation and being in civil services is a respectful job." Having completed his LLM (Human Rights Law) from  National Law School  of India University, Bangalore, Ravi did his research on water governance at Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. Being a topper, he believes that it is the extensive reading that helps in cracking civil services. "Questions in civil services are beyond thought and book. So, what really helped me is vast knowledge of various areas." City's youngest topper Mayank Awasthi (23) was of the view that a goal ...
