Earlier today, the CBI gave a clean chit to Dr Rajesh Talwar saying it had not found any evidence "so far" against him. The investigating agency, in a hurriedly called press conference, said the focus was on the role of servants who had allegedly tried to sexually assault 14-year-old Aarushi before killing her and Talwar's domestic help Hemraj.
Another domestic help of Talwar's neighbour -- Vijay Mandal -- was arrested today for allegedly conspiring in the double murder, CBI Joint Director Arun Kumar told reporters here.
"We have informed the designated court in Ghazaiabad that the agency has not found any evidence against Talwar and that Noida Police (who arrested him on May 23) had also not found any evidence...the court may pass appropriate orders," the CBI official said.

He said Krishna, compounder of Dr Talwar, emerged as "prime suspect" as his psychological assessment test and polygraph test "revealed deception on all major points relating to the crime". "Krishna was subjected to brain finger printing and narco analysis test...he confessed his involvement in the crime along with his two other associates Raj Kumar (domestic help of Talwar's family friend) and Vijay Mandal," he said.
