Allahabad High Court says Aarushi Talwar parents did not murder daughter Aarushi Talwar

Allahabad, Oct 12 (IBNS): Allahabad High Court on Thursday acquitted the parents of Aarushi Talwar of charges of murdering their 14-year-old Noida girl, who was found dead along with domestic help Hemraj, nine years ago, media reports said.

After the conviction by a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court in 2013, parents of Aarushi, Rajesh Talwar and Nupur Talwar, had appealed to Allahabad High Court.

Aarushi was found murdered at her residence on May 16, 2008, which led to the suspicion that domestic help Hemraj had killed her.

However, a day after Aarushi;s murder, Hemraj was found dead in the terrace.

In 2009, the CBI had handed over the murder case to a new team and suggested a closure of it.

The CBI had suspected Aarushi's father Rajesh Talwar to commit the double murders based on circumstantial evidence, though the CBI did not convict him due to lack of proper evidence.

However, the court rejected the CBI's claim of lack of evidence.

In 2013, the court convicted Aarushi's parents and sentenced the couple to life imprisonment.
