Verdict in Aarushi-Hemraj murder case on November 25

GHAZIABAD: A CBI court today reserved for November 25 the verdict in the sensational 2008 double murder case of teenager Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj in which her parents Rajesh and Nupur Talwar are accused.

Additional Sessions Judge Shyam Lal reserved the order after the defence completed its final arguments and the CBI submitted its rebuttal in the case which has seen several twists and turns.

CBI today maintained its stand that it was the dentist couple who had killed their teenaged daughter Aarushi and their servant as circumstantial evidence was against them.

On the other hand, the defence lawyers alleged that Talwars had been framed in the case.

Trial in the Aarushi-Hemraj murder case began 15 months ago at Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh after the court rejected the closure report filed by CBI.

Fourteen-year-old Aarushi was found murdered in her apartment in Noida on May 16, 2008. The next day, the body of Hemraj was discovered on the apartment's terrace.

Rajesh and Nupur were in the house on the night the crime was committed.
