Dentist Nupur Talwar was today taken into custody soon after she surrendered before a Ghaziabad court hearing the 2008 twin murder case of her teenaged daughter Aarushi and their domestic help Hemraj.
A few days ago, the CBI raided Nupur’s residence in the Hauz Khas area to execute the warrant to ensure her presence in the court. The warrant was issued even as she moved the SC for reviewing its judgment, upholding the CBI magistrate’s summons.
Nupur Talwar faced a non-bailable warrant issued by a CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) special court in Ghaziabad after she failed to appear in court as directed.
Police guarded the court premises as Nupur Talwar and her husband Rajesh reached around 10.15 a.m. She was taken into the court from a back door.
On Friday, the Supreme Court had directed Nupur Talwar to surrender before the magistrate’s court. The apex court bench, headed by Justice A.K. Patnaik, had said that she could apply for bail after surrendering and the court would decide on the issue expeditiously and on merit.
The apex court had passed the order while adjourning till Friday the hearing of her Nupur Talwar review petition of its order directing her to face trial in the double murder case.
The dentist couple’s 14-year-old daughter Aarushi was found dead inside their Noida residence in May 2008 with her throat slit. The body of the Talwars’ domestic servant Hemraj, initially a suspect in the case, was recovered from the terrace a day later. The Talwar couple is accused in the case.
