Arushi Talwar Murder case: the funny CBI thoery

18 Jun
2008

Update (June 23, 2008): Krishna’s custody has been extended again. What, another bout of narco-tests and lie-detector tests? I think the CBI will drive this guy nuts and then declare that although he has lost his mind it was he who had committed both the murders. Of course in his deranged state of mind he won’t be able to deny it or defend himself; he will simply admit.  The CBI is just waiting for the media and the public to get bored of this case and then they will have a field day.

Another confusing thing is the murder weapon. Recently the CBI had said that the murder weapon was flushed down in Arushi’s bathroom. For almost a fortnight Krishna’s niece has been telling the news channels that Krishna’s “badly blunted” khukri has been lying at home and the CBI never came to get it. And now the CBI has got the khukri from Krishna’s place. So what happens to the theory of the flushed down weapon? Flushed down?

Update (June 20, 2008): Krishna has now supposedly told the CBI that it was Rajkumar (Anita Durani’s servant) who killed Arushi and later on Hemraj, and Krishna saw her being first assaulted in order to be raped, then injured, and eventually killed. This is truly bizarre. Now they’ll say the weapon wasn’t a Khukri and it was some other weapon that was used. The statement is probably being changed because now there is too much public support for Krishna. So much happened and the parents kept sleeping. I wonder if someone lived downstairs. In multi-storyed flats the roofs are generally so sound sensitive that the people downstairs can hear the sound even when children run around in the flat above. If so much fighting and physical violence took place, how come nobody heard a sound? And that too at night, when everything is so quiet despite the air-conditioners and coolers.

Beside, why did they choose to come at night for the assault knowing that everyone would be at home: both the parents and the servant. Why didn’t they choose a time when she was alone at home? Were the parents not supposed to be there that day and was it known to the culprits?

Is this the smartest investigative agency the country has? Pathetic, to say the least. They can’t even fabricate properly.

The old post follows

According to the latest development it seems the CBI will go to ludicrous lengths to ensure compounder Krishna’s conviction. By hook or by crook the CBI is hell bent on proving that it was Krishna who committed the twin murders of Arushi Talwar and her man-servant Hemraj. According the the CBI theory (whatever news I’m getting while working), Krishna first murdered Hemraj, took the body to the roof and hid it under the cooler’s cover. Then he murdered Arushi with the same khukri (see on Wikipedia what khukri means) and then flushed the khukri down in Arushi’s bathroom (correction: he first murdered Arushi and then Hemraj). Then he broke both Arushi’s and Hemraj’s cell phones and threw them into the water tank on the roof. All this happened while the girl’s parents soundly slept. After putting the body on the roof and throwing the phones into the water tank he locked the door that goes to the roof (the police found the door locked in the morning of the murder).

Some conflicting facts: Arushi’s bedroom door, due to some weird reason, was always locked from the outside whenever she went to sleep, and nobody has so far asked the parents why this used to happen. But there was another door through Hemraj’s room from where one could enter Arushi’s bedroom. The keys of Arushi’s locked doors were always with Arushi’s parents (now why would Hemraj keep the keys unless he had duplicate keys?). But the next day when Arushi’s body was found, the door was unlocked, wide open. So someone would go to great lengths to lock the door to the roof after dumping Hemraj’s body there but would not lock back Arushi’s bedroom after murdering her. The blood stains on the outer side of the door also proved that the door was wide open even when Arushi was being murdered.

The parents too sound quite shady, and this is why the father was arrested in the first place (and the CBI is doing its best to prove that he’s innocent, as of now). In the morning when the maid turned up, the mother told the maid that the main entrance door was locked from the outside. She told the maid to go down, where she would throw the keys from the balcony. The maid went down and the mother threw the keys down sounding perfectly normal. When the maid entered the house, she found both the mother and the father crying. Had the mother tried going through Hemraj’s room. she could have easily gone out herself and opened the door from the outside. The police, who totally decimated the crime scene by acting prodigiously clumsy and unprofessional, half-heartedly proved that it was simply not possible to go to the roof without creating lots of noise and waking up the family as the door made loud noises while being shut and opened. And anyway, with so much happening in the house, how could have they kept sleeping? Of course the father, a high-profile dentist, said that he had consumed liquor before going to bed. Nonetheless, he was arrested as police thought the girl and the servant had been murdered as either honor killing, or to keep an elicit affair secret, or something more sinister. Both the CBI and the policy have been trying to ascertain what clothes the couple were wearing when they had gone to bed, and strangely, none of them can recall.

It was reported that after finding the body with a slit throat and a badly bashed up face, they were calling up relatives and colleagues instead of the police. After the police had conducted the initial inquisition they promptly performed the last rites and took the ashes to Haridwar and consigned them to the Ganges. The Hindus record the death details at Haridwar and there they mentioned that Arushi had died at 2 A.M. All this pointed the needle of suspicion at them.

The difference between the have’s and the havenots has also come to the fore. The CBI is arresting servants left and right, and the joint director of CBI immediately called a press conference to deny that Nupur Talwar (Arushi’s mother) was going to be arrested, as the news of her imminent arrest began to appear on the Internet. Contrary to that, Krishna has been under arrest for more than a month and the CBI has been conducting all sorts of psychological interrogations of him even without court’s order. Rajesh Talwar’s (Arushi’s father) lawyers are always present when he is being interrogated. Krishna had cried in front the TV cameras that he was being tortured and falsely implicated to save someone else’s butt.

Whoever has murdered Arushi and Hemraj, neither police nor the CBI has come out convincing. I’ll post more thoughts on this case later on. In the meantime, here are some intriguing questions.

    Based on the publicly available information so far, I just don’t see how these murders are dishonor killings.

  3. The STOP HONORCIDE! campaign was launched on Mother’s Day 2008. The goal of the campaign is to prosecute honorcides to the fullest extent of the law. We want honorcide to be classified as a hate crime and we advocate for every existing hate crime legislation to be amended to include honorcide.

    I would like to state that the current developments in the Arushi talwar Murder Case and the headway made by the CBI is clearly NO FUNNY CBI STORY but a movement towards the TRUTH which the incompetent Noida Poilce were unable to fathom due to which they concocted the story of Arushi and Hemraj and the subsequent honour killing - a story which has no basis in fact and is devoid of any real evidence. These poilce officers should be expelled from service and jailed, they do not deservce to be police much less anything else. The very fact that the ignored the 3 whisky glasses found in Hemraj’s room, they ignored that the roof was locked from inside so that had to use the other door to go to the roof, that it wasnt possible for a person of Mr.Talwar’s health to committ such henious crimes with such precision and dispose the murder weapons hand in glove with his wife and that too murdering their only daughter. That it is a known fact that the noida police instead of sealing the scene of crime allowed anyone and everyone to wade through the flat and did not carry out the necessary tasks to secure the physical evidence which may have been found in the flat, which the CBI later did discover. The case is very simple and the CBI has done a great Job, The talwars were most likely not at home that night a fact they hid thinking it would put them in bad light without ever imagening that they would be the ones arrested. Arushi being alone and the house empty Hemraj must have invited friends over for drinks, friends would be those he would be closely associated with and would meet frequently which would mean the Durrani’s servant and krishna who did frequent the Talwar residence, things must have taken a turn for the worse with Rajkumar and Krishna getting durnk and trying to force themselves on Arushi in a drunken stupor knowing she was alone, Hemraj and Arushi must have protested, in the ensuing scuffle both were hit on the head their throats slit, as much evidence removed and then both must have escaped from the roof becuase it takes 3 minutes to get to the talwar residence from krishnas roof. The talwars must have come in later that night, opened the doors with their keys, being drunk they must have headed directly for their rooms to sleep only to witness the mayhem in the morning. The noida police being incompetent gave enough time to the culprits to escape and gave them the best alibi if they would get caught which Krishna is now using . Under CBI interrogation Krishna must have faltered out of fear and given something away which is how the CBI latched onto him.

    Stop believing the fools believe the real story which the CBI is now unearthing, if you believe the Noida Police theory it seems that you too are devoid of any grey matter in the brain. Moreover the Talwars are not so affluent or rich that would have an entire central govt machinery protecting them. Moreover the Media glare on this case is not allowing the CBI to investigate properly plus by showcasing a crying Krishna they are only creating more sympathy for a criminal who should be hanged for what he has done. The media needs to back off otherwise the culprits will never be bourght to justice. May justice prevail, the noida police handling this case are also culprits and need to be severly punished.

    With ref to Arushi Talwar Murder case, may her sould find peace, I would like to further add that it was Krishna who planted the story of the affair between Durrani and Talwar. Further he planted the story of family trouble between Arushi and her father. Whis is how the CBi picked him up for questioning. Moreover It was later discovered that Hemraj and these men who are now in the scene of crime were friends and frequented the talwar residence behidn their backs. The Noida Police gave enough time to the real culprits due to their incompetence to dispose off the murder weapons becuase these people were only bought into the scene by the CBI which took the case a month later after the Noida police botched up everything and created a story due to media pressure becuase they had no leads and neither the brians which are required for such an investigation and go live and degrade Arushi and her family in the manner in which the police did is henious and the police officials involved must be punished. I request people to pray that the culprits who were free till now are brought to book and that the family which has undergone so much pain, humiliation and loss finally get some Justice.

    Think people think eveybody is saying that the CBI are helping the Talwars, why? why would them help the Talwars, why would all the beauraucrats , the politicians help them, they are neither rich, nor affluent, knowing a few people in high placs for successful doctors is common place. moreover even anybody else would first call family and friends and then the police. It is absurd to create this story about the CBI being hand in glove with the talwars without any rationale and the product of a stupid mind.

    Vinay? Chamcha of Talwars? Just shut up! You have shown enough foolishness by opening your mouth or rather using ur keyboard!

    Krishna is innocent.So are the other servants.Servants are illitriate…they CAN NEVER B so clever as to leave to trace or clue of their murder.The deed has been done by Dr. Talwar, now using his power to put it head on the poor. But NO ONE escapes GOD…he knows the truth and will bring justice.

    We all know how Indian law system in corrupted. There would be so many other questions also regarding this case but there won’t be any answer of them. it’s useless to have any hope that this case will be solved….finally money will win..first of all the way parents are facing media it’s incredible….mother was on a news channel..talking very normally…it was her own daughter…how can she behave normally after seeing her own daughter’s blood she should be in the hospital…
