Fact Situation

On the morning of May 16, 2008, Mr. Tapan Mishra, a

close family friend of the Talwars residing in the same
apartment complex in Jalvayu Vihar, Noida, received a
frantic call from Dr. Rajesh Talwar. Mr. Mishra was
informed that Dr. Talwar's 14-year-old daughter,
Aarushi, had been found dead in her bedroom under
mysterious circumstances.
Shaken by the news, Mr. Mishra rushed to the Talwar's
residence. Upon arrival, he found the family's live-in
domestic help, Bharti, crying hysterically, and Dr. Talwar
and his wife, Dr. Nupur Talwar, in a state of profound
shock and grief.
Aarushi's lifeless body lay on her bed, covered with a
white flannel blanket. Her throat was slit, and there was
a visible injury on her forehead. There were signs of a
struggle, but strangely, the rest of the room appeared to
be in a relatively normal state, with no signs of forced
entry or theft.
The Talwar's live-in domestic helper, Hemraj, who was
initially suspected, was nowhere to be found. However,
his body was discovered on the terrace of the same
apartment the next day, with similar injuries as Aarushi.
Given the gruesome nature of the crime and the
significant media attention it attracted, Mr. Mishra
decided to lodge a formal police complaint to ensure
that a thorough investigation was carried out.
