Aarushi Talvar Murder Case | Legal Aspects of Business

1. Aarushi Talvar Murder Case Presented by : Lavish Khurana Lokendra Singh Rathore Manasi Agarwal Mehak Koul Mohit Agarwal Submitted to : Prof. Antony Cruz

2. Introduction to the case Most Controversial Murder Case A 14-year old girl, Aarushi Talwar , was found dead in her apartment at Noida’s Jalvayu Vihar .  When Aarushi's body was discovered on 16 May 2008, the missing servant Hemraj was considered as the main suspect. However, the next day, his partially decomposed body was discovered on the terrace.

3. How..When and What happened??

4. In 2008, when Arun Kumar took over the investigation, Rajesh Talwar was given bail because of lack of evidence. Kumar then arrested Krishna, Vijay Mandal and Rajkumar , the Nepali servants, until then thought to be peripherally involved in the case. The CBI officer made it clear in the first CBI press conference that prima facie, the needle of suspicion was pointing towards the servants and not the Talwars . It’s been clear that the UP police’s investigation was botched up, that evidence was trampled upon and forensic tests made virtually impossible in the first fortnight after the crime. Kumar describes the circumstances under which the case was handed over to the CBI . Arun Kumar and his team were handed over a shoddy investigation. They conducted an experiment to check if sound could travel from Aarushi’s bedroom to the Talwars ’ bedroom when both air conditioners were switched on and there was no traffic sound. They concluded that no sound could be heard from one room to the other. Why Arun Kumar Believes the Talwars Are Innocent

5. "We concluded that since it was impossible for awake and alert officers to hear sounds from Aarushi’s room, it would have been impossible for the Talwars to hear anything that night. “ Then the narco tests also proved they showed no deception. So there was no evidence to incriminate them.” But this evidence was ignored in court . AGL Kaul , the Investigating Officer in the case, sought the conviction of the Talwars . Tanveer Mir, the defence counsel, said Kaul had strong feelings about the Talwars . In the first 24 hours of the probe, before the UP police discovered Hemraj’s body, Krishna was questioned. He sowed the seed that Hemraj had eyes for Aarushi and that he must have killed her. That Hemraj-Aarushi angle continued even after Hemraj’s body was found. We have records that Nupur Talwar called Hemraj that morning, the phone rang and then it was switched off. The phone call was traced to Jal Vayu Vihar , where Krishna lived." CBI Officer Mr. Kaul’s version:

6. The story that charges the Talwar’s guilty is rife with contradictions – The assertion that Aarushi was Raped . Initial medical reports claimed that nothing abnormal was indicated in her sexual organs. By the time the case was closed, her "cervix was found wide open ". “ Misjudgements " and “Misunderstandings " The case of Hemraj’s blood-soaked purple pillow cover , where CBI claimed that the pillow cover was found in Aarushi’s bedroom, however the reality is that it was discovered from Hemraj’s own room.  Bharti Mandal’s Change of statement : “The door was locked and I never touched the door " " I tried to open the door but the door did not open” " I am saying what I have been taught to say " Legal Loopholes in the case

7. Narco analyses of Krishna, Raj Kumar (other servants linked with the case) and the Talwar couple reveal that the former two are guilty and the latter innocent. Talwars pronounced  guilty The sensational coverage that  Aarushi was a serial flirt , that Talwars were a couple with "loose sexual morals " given so much weight that the Talwars were pronounced guilty after a humiliating process of character assassination. Forensic samples were never collected and if they had been, then the case could have been solved very easily The CBI analysis also changed the murder weapon that delivered the blunt force. It was now identified as a golf club, not a  kukri  , because of the “triangular-shaped head injury.” Legal Loopholes in the case(Contd..)
