CBI moves SC to challenge acquittal of Arushi Talwar's parents

New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has approached the Supreme Court against the Allahabad High Court acquittal of doctor couple Rajesh Talwar and Nupur Talwar in the murder of their daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj.

On October 12 last year, a High Court bench of Justice B.K. Narayana and Justice A.K. Mishra acquitted the couple by giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Aarushi, 14, and Hemraj were found murdered at their Jalvayu Vihar home in Noida on May 16, 2008.

The High Court’s order came on an appeal by the Talwars against a Ghaziabad CBI court order that handed them life imprisonment on November 26, 2013, bringing an end to a nine-year ordeal of the couple.

Earlier, Hemraj’s wife had approached the top court against the High Court acquittal of the couple.
