The double murder of 14-year-old Arushi Talwar and her family’s domestic help in Noida is still baffling the police.
But six days after the double murder, the police still seem to be groping in the dark.
What is not helping at all is the fact that the police officials are speaking in different voices.
While, the Additional Director General of Police in Lucknow says the investigators are very close to a breakthrough, the SSP of Noida says they are nowhere near cracking the case.
The ADG confirmed on Monday that a former domestic help Vishnu has been detained, but the SSP indicated that Vishnu is not the main suspect.
Police sources said that till last year Vishnu used to keep a replacement during his two months annual leave and get back to his job when he returned.
But after Hemraj was hired, Vishnu did not get his job back.
But so far nothing concrete has emerged. It has been one twist after another in a case, even more as we watch how the police have handled the investigation.
The Noida Police have detained Vishnu, the former domestic help of the Talwars in connection with the murder.
Vishnu was the one who had introduced Hemraj to the Talwars eight months ago.
Another startling revelation came to the fore on Monday morning by Bharti, the Talwars’ part-time maid.
”I came in the morning. I rang the bell several times. The gate was locked from outside and madam gave me the keys from the balcony. Then I opened it,” said Bharti.
The case that made national headlines has seen many theories and flip-flops by the police.
On day one, that is last Friday, the police named domestic help Hemraj as the prime suspect because he was missing.
However, the very next day, Hemraj’s body was found on the terrace of the house and the police said a third person might have been involved.
Then, they spent the entire day three questioning Arushi’s parents and said all previous domestic helps who had worked for the Talwars were suspects.
