Dentist-couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar will visit the Dasna Jail every 15 days to attend to inmates after their release following acquittal in the murder case of their daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj, jail authorities said.
The two have been lodged in the prison in Ghaziabad since November 2013 after they were awarded life sentence. Both Rajesh and Nupur Talwar are likely to be released on Monday.
The dentist-couple had helped revive the near-defunct dental department at the prison hospital, a jail official said. “We were concerned about the fate of our dental department after their release. They have assured us that they would visit the jail to attend to inmates every 15 days even after their release,” jail doctor Sunil Tyagi said.
Dr. Tyagi said that besides prisoners, the Talwars have also been treating jail staff, police officials and their children. “They have treated thousands of patients who are happy with their services,” he said.
To manage the rush of dental patients at the jail hospital after the Talwars’ release, the prison authorities have also tied up with a Ghaziabad-based dental college. “The doctors from the dental college will also visit the jail twice a week to attend to patients so that inmates don’t face problems,” Dr. Tyagi added.
