It has been four and a half months since Aarushi Talwar, a teenager, was murdered in Delhi’s suburbs and since then, she has become a household name.
However, her murder investigation has remained controversial. Sources have told NDTV that a finger print report has demolished CBI’s theory about the suspects, Krishna, Rajkumar and Mandal.
The murder of the 13-year-old will now be investigated from scratch for the third time. The reason for it is a Ballantine’s whiskey bottle recovered from the Talwar dining room that had a set of bloody fingerprints.
The blood matched with that of the victims, Aarushi and Hemraj. Therefore, the CBI expected the prints to match one of the three men they suspected and had arrested.
However, the results of the fingerprint have shocked them. The Fingerprints on the whiskey bottle does not match any of the three suspects. Fingerprints also do not match with that of Aarushi’s father Rajesh Talwar, which is why the CBI is now looking at the possibility of another killer.
Now the CBI is embarrassed because within six weeks of taking over, they claimed they had caught the killers. They based their claim on alleged confessions made during narco-analysis tests, not admissible in court.
The fingerprint results weren’t the only setback for investigators. They also got a legal opinion, which was against filing the chargesheet. The legal experts said that they simply had no evidence.
The scientific evidence says that these men could not have committed the crime. As per sources, the CBI is now busy collecting fresh fingerprints from the rest of the Talwar family. The Talwars have refused to comment on the latest developments.
CBI sources now admit it was a blunder to rely on the narco reports as leading questions could have led to a confession.
