Ten Questions to the Noida Police. Does anyone have any answers?
1. Does an email exchange between a father and his daughter mean that there was no communication between them, or that they had a friendly chatty style?
2. Was Aarushi involved with Hemraj or was she involved with a teenage student of her school (with whom she exchanged 600-odd emails over the past six weeks)?
3. Did Rajesh Talwar allegedly kill his daughter because he was having an affair or because she was?
4. If Rajesh Talwar was upset about his daughter’s alleged closeness to the family servant, why didn’t he just sack him?
5. If the murder was premediated, ie because Dr Talwar was upset (according to the police chargesheet) why didn’t he as a doctor plan a more sophisticated crime using, perhaps poison that might have been less easy to detect?
6. Does the police actually believe that after killing Hemraj and his own daughter, Dr Rajesh Talwar returned to his bedroom and went off to sleep until 6 am?
7. How much is the SSP’s office at Noida worth in terms of ‘hafta’? How much does it contribute to the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati?
8. How much pressure was the Noida police under after Mayawati ordered them to solve the crime within three days?
9. Is the name of the victim Aarushi or Shruti?
10. How difficult is it to discover a dead body at the scene of a high profile crime?
And, one question to Indianews (which showed an MMS that it said showed Aarushi. They were lying).
1. How do you sleep at night assholes?

Other questions - why was Hemraj’s body discarded on the roof? if this was indeed a murder committed by Dr.Talwar, won’t he atleast try and get rid of the corpses?
I think the Police have completely bungled up this case. They did not protect the crime scene.. did not gather evidence carefully (fingerprints, tissue samples, hair samples etc)… announced a theory (Hemraj killing Aarushi) before they could possibly have the evidence to support that theory..
My guess is that this murder was committed by an external person (perhaps a theif) who perhaps killed the girl and was then detected by Hemraj.. so he may have fled to the terrace with Hemraj chasing behind him. In the terrace, he may have killed Hemraj and then escaped the scene of the crime. But again, this is only another theory.
I think the case has been bungled up so much that it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to actually ascertain facts now. The police need to be charged for malpractise and for compromising the investigation to the point that they may even be seen as an accessory to the crime.

I have only one question - why media making this case so confusing ???? One channel said this is a case of wife-swapping, another said Aarushi is step-daughter of Rajesh Talwar …. Why media playing such a negative role … They just want to increase their TRP rating …
Noida police is doing nothing in this case they are just making stories, nothing else …..

From Namita:
Prem: I totally agree with you. One can keep on finding new theories — would Dr Talwar not try to get rid of Hemraj’s body if in fact he had killed him? Also, as a doctor he could have used far more sophisticated and harder to detect methods (like poison) and then tried to make it look like a natural death. Finally, he could have just sacked him.
Simran: hi. I’m not sure that it’s just the media that is making the case so confusing. Media is being fed all sorts of stupid theories and stories by the police which has proved to be totally incompetent in this case. But, yes, of course, it’s all a game of TRPs.

a father killing his own daughter? nobdy can believe that. but sadly our human history n conduct has always thrown up some freaky incidents. cases lik these hav come up again n again, though something like this has happened in rural or “lower middle class.” i think the urban upper class has always been in a state of denial about its ghosts in d closet. “educated” and “cultured” people dont behave this way. this is their argument. we r a nation that loves to bury its act and maintain its “propriety.” this murder case should not be purely judged on the basis that a father cannot do this. the case requires some sensitivity and a lot of objectivity. u cannot pronounce somebody innocent because he z the father. similarly you cannot send someone to jail without hard evidence.
and as for those ten questions. . .some of them are easy to answer. . but what about those questions that the police, and now the CBI, has asked the family. can u answer them? why is the family being evasive? dont they want to find the guilty? their innocence will be automatically be proved. if the police has to do some answering then so does the family. i can understand the family is in shock n probbly they cant answer evrythng to the point, but how is it that they get rounded up at every stage of the questioning?the finger again and again returns to them? this probe is not just about freeing the father from jail. it is about finding the right killers whoever they are. the police’s reputation hasnt escaped anyone. they are paying for their callouness displayed in the very few days of the probe. but i dont think they cook up stories without any reason. . . unless they are paid to do so. . .but the family has pointed out that they hav no enemies who would try to harm them like this. . and believe me a person always has an inkling who is not his or her wellwisher. if the police was under pressure to solve the case, they could hav grabbed a third person and made him confess forcibly. . .y the parents when they knew an accusation like this is hard to believe? and if u have tuned to more reliable channels like cnnibn and ndtv, i am sure u must have heard the CBI sources say (to the channel reporters) that there is a great possibilty of bribe at the constable level. if u read between the lines u will get what they are trying to say. only a murderer will bribe and how did the murederer get inside the house while the police was investigating. if a third external person, who is not familiar to the family and has never met them, has committed the murders . . . y would he bribe the police? . . .only a person who was known to the family n who feared being caught would bribe the police. could be a relative also. the police should keep that option open. . .
and Prem, i dont think a theif would take such pains, after killing Hemraj, to search his pockets or his room for the terrace keys. he would not lock hemraj on the one hand and leave arushi’s body to be discovered easily, on the other. And y would he take their cellphones? he knows he cant use them. if he does he will be caught. and he hasnt used them so far. dnt u think that it would take a lot of time to search the cellphones and the keys. a thief or even a third person who has been hired to do the job would not want to be caught. the only thing on his mind would have been to get away from there as quickly as possible. . .not to clean the mess he has made on the stairs or in the rooms.
