NEW DELHI: The CBI today registered a case to probe the sensational murder of 14-year-old Aarushi Talwar and her family's domestic help Hemraj.

The case, that was registered by Noida police, was re-registered by CBI's Special Crime Branch this morning against unknown persons.

A 25-member team has been formed to visit and investigate the scene of crime, agency sources said.

Aarushi was found murdered with her throat slit on May 16 at the Noida Sector 25 home of the Talwars and the body of Hemraj was recovered from the terrace the next day.

Rajesh Talwar, the dentist father of Aarushi, has been booked by the Noida police and is currently in judicial custody.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati had last week recommended a CBI inquiry into the incident following requests from the Talwar family. Nupur Talwar, mother of Aarushi, has claimed that her husband was innocent and that the Noida police have framed him.
