The Ghaziabad CBI court has on Tuesday rejected the bail plea filed by Dr Rajesh Talwar’s lawyer. Dr Talwar, who is currently in judicial custody, was arrested in connection with the twin murder of his daughter Aarushi & servant Hemraj at their residence in Noida last month. The court rejected the bail plea on technical grounds.

Earlier late on Monday, a team of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) & forensic experts conducted a fresh search at Talwar’s house to find more clues into the double murders. The team, accompanied by Talwar’s compounder Krishna, reached his Noida residence at around 11:45 pm. The CBI had also put compounder Krishna through a six-hour lie detector test. The agency claimed to have obtained some “incriminating clues” against him from the room of Hemraj.

During investigations it was found that three people were present in Hemraj’s room & consumed alcohol on May 15 night, when Aarushi’s murder took place. One of them was Krishna, the identity of the third person is not yet known.

Aarushi, 14 years old was found murdered in her home at Noida on May 16 with her throat slit. The Noida Police initially named domestic help Hemraj & even sent teams to trace him, but backtracked after his body was found a day later on the terrace of the Talwar’s house.
