Having failed to crack the sensational Aarushi Talwar-Hemraj murder case, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday filed a closure report in a Ghaziabad special court pleading insufficient evidence.
The CBI was entrusted with the investigation in June 2008. “After completing the investigation, the agency has filed a final report in the court for closure of the case on grounds of insufficient evidence. In the final report, all the evidence that was available and could be gathered during the probe and the gaps in evidence have been detailed,” a CBI spokesperson said, adding that since the matter was sub-judice the agency would comply with the court orders.
Aarushi, the 14-year-old daughter of dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar, was found murdered under mysterious circumstances at their Jalwayu Vihar residence in Noida on May 16, 2008. The mystery deepened after the body of their domestic help, Hemraj, earlier suspected to have murdered the teenager, was found on the terrace the next day.
The Uttar Pradesh police arrested Aarushi's father Rajesh Talwar for his alleged involvement. However, the case was transferred to the CBI on June 1, 2008, following a huge public outcry. Dr. Talwar was subjected to a lie-detector test. The agency virtually gave him a clean chit and arrested his servant Krishna, Rajkumar, the domestic help of the Talwars' family friend Durranis, and Vijay Mandal, domestic help of their neighbours.

It is as clear as daylight that Mr and Mrs Talwar known more about Arushi's death than what they portray. I agree with Anjali, the byte that they gave a popular news channel Nupur's face seems to betray what what she was claiming. Her rhetoric about how badly they were treated by the CBI seemed rehearsed and contrived. I hope we get a body language expert and employ them to seal the loopholes in this case. and get the ones responsible behind bars... and in this case..im sure it is the Talwars who are to be blamed.
It's sad that the late 14-year old Aarushi Talwar could not get justice for herself, perhaps because of the lack of presentable evidence. But there are certain other innuendos which may not stand in a court room, but does tell volumes about the case. If an observer were to employ a study of body language and facial expressions, say like Israel's airport security staff, what would she notice? Throughout the police investigation, the father, Mr Talwar sported calm eyes and clenched jaws – an expression more of defiance and non-cooperation than one of grief – even as he spoke "I am innocent" in front of the cameras. In a televised interview to a popular news channel, Mrs Talwar hardly looked like a mother who has lost her only child – she did not shed a single tear for her daughter. Instead, she unemotionally spoke of how Mr Talwar loved his daughter, and was a doting father. One wondered why she spoke so defensively about her husband. Both the Talwar couples had body languages very different from the words they spoke. Strangely, they had even registered a case of kidnapping of Aarushi by their domestic help Hemraj, when their bodies were present inside their very house. Neither could they provide any other plausible angle to their daughter's death. It was also quite odd that they never battled an eyelid when crucial forensic evidences were being destroyed in their house. Sadly, we may never know for sure if the Aarushi case was indeed that of a cleverly camouflaged honour killing. Her killers might be chuckling that they were clever enough to get away.
Well done!!! According to CBI Aarushi didn't die,even. Like many other monumental discoveries attributable to the Nation's premier investigating agency (owing allegience to croonies in the Congress Party), this is another "feather". Good work. Keep it up
