Aarushi murder case: Nupur's bail plea reserved till tomorrow

Additional District Judge S Lal reserved the order on the bail application of Nupur, who was sent to jail yesterday, after hearing arguments of her counsel as well as CBI, which opposed any relief to her.

Seeking Nupur's bail, her lawyers said that she and her husband Rajesh Talwar, also a dentist, had undergone all sorts of scientific tests like polygraph, brain mapping and Narco analysis which were "clean like a whistle".

In her written statement filed before the court, Nupur said that she "stands on a better footing viz-a-viz case of other accused Rajesh Talwar" who is on bail. Rajesh was granted bail on July 11, 2008 after spending 50 days in Jail.

Unlike yesterday when the media was allowed in the court room during the proceedings, the scribes were today asked to leave by the Judge after Nupur's lawyers demanded that as per Supreme Court's order only parties and counsels should be allowed to be present.

Nupur said the Magistrate's court had not followed proper procedure as the CBI closure report was filed against her husband and three servants.

"The court has accepted the closure report qua servants and rejected the closure report qua husband of the applicant and issued summons for appearance to the applicant (Nupur) and in spite of the fact that the applicant was not shown as accused by the CBI in said closure report the court has added the applicant as one of the accused," she said.

Aarushi was murdered on the intervening night of May 16-17, 2008 at her Noida residence and the next day the body of domestic help, Hemraj, was found on the terrace of the house. More PTI ABS
