The CBI team is believed to have established that it was Aarushi who was killed first & then Hemraj was killed. This conclusion is based on the viscera reports, the time of death as stated in the post-mortem reports & some fingerprints & palm prints picked up from Aarushi’s room, which were also found on the terrace. This particular set of fingerprints have shown some traces of blood on them on the terrace but were found clean in Aarushi’s room. A senior official of CBI said, “There is logical connection between the fingerprints found on the terrace of the house & inside the room of Aarushi which explains that this person first entered Aarushi’s room & then went upto the terrace”.

The CBI has also established that the two murders were executed after full planning & were not a result of an outburst as indicated by the Noida police during their investigations. The police had claimed that Dr Rajesh Talwar returned home around 11:30 pm only to find Aarushi & Hemraj in an “objectionable (but not compromising)” state. This irked him so much that he first took Hemraj to the terrace on some pretext & murdered him there only to kill Aarushi thereafter. The CBI has picked up clues which not only establish that it was Aarushi who was murdered first & then Hemraj but also the fact that both the murders were well-planned & much in advance.
