Nupur and Rajesh will never be able to get over the pain of losing their child but they will try and get back to their normal life, Rajesh’s brother Dinesh Talwar told the media on Monday.
Dinesh said that the dentist couple, who walked out of Dasna Jail in Ghaziabad on Monday, were in no position to speak to the media.
‘Will never get over loss’
“The pain of losing Aarushi can never go away and the grief over her loss, which was somewhere bottled up, will now come to the fore. They are not in any position to talk,” he told reporters.
The couple were acquitted by the Allahabad High Court on October 12 this year — nearly four years after they were convicted in November 2013.
While addressing the media, Dinesh hinted at media reports that linked Aarushi with Hemraj, and said they were not “guilty”. “Aarushi and Hemraj’s names were linked in this story. It was not only her parents who had been branded guilty but it was also Aarushi who was meted out the same treatment. Even Hemraj was held guilty. At this point, we can say none of them were guilty,” he said.
In the last four years, the family had controlled their emotions because they had to fight the battle in the “quest for truth”, he said.
“We forgot everything else and our motive was to clear Aarushi’s name. The day Rajesh was convicted, he told me: “I will fight this battle for Aarushi till my last breath”. He did not say he wanted to come out of jail. He wanted to clear his daughter’s name,” said Dinesh.
He also requested the media to respect the couple’s privacy and allow them to get back to a life of normalcy.
