BREAKING NEWS: DPS girl Aarushi Talwar's father arrested for twin murders in Noida.

Arushi's father, Dr Rajesh Talwar has been arrested for the murders of his daughter and domestic servant Hemraj in the sensational double murder case.

Talwar was arrested on Friday after being questioned by the Noida police. He made many contradictory statements to police during his questioning.

Dr Anita Durrani, who was working with Dr Talwar and is alleged to have had an affair with him, has also been detained. She has been named as an accomplice.

Arushi's mother, Dr Nupur Talwar, has been arrested for abetment.

Police have officially confirmed that 'honour killing' or 'extreme passion' could have been the motive behind Arushi's murder.

It is also being suggested that Arushi probably knew something about Dr Talwar that he wasn't completely comfortable with.

Arushi, 14, was found murdered in her bedroom at her L-32 Jalvayu Vihar home in Sector-25, Noida last Friday. She had four stab wounds on her forehead, shoulder and chest.

The police immediately declared Hemraj as their suspect but were red-faced when he was found murdered on the terrace of the Talwars' home, a day later.

The fact that the killer’s entry to the household was friendly and that Arushi's parents "slept" through two brutal killings in the next room had greatly baffled the police.

Her parents were interrogated almost everyday for a few hours at undisclosed locations since last Wednesday.

CONTRADICTORY STATEMENTS

Rajesh Talwar had earlier told the police that the mattress of Arushi's bed — which was

found on the terrace of the house — had been put there by the driver. However, neighbours said that their domestic help had put the mattress on the terrace.

During interrogation, Dr Talwar

let it slip that a servant had put the mattress on the terrace, and

n

ot the driver as he had stated earlier.

Call details of Arushi and her parents as well as Hemraj were analysed.

The sequence of events is a little fuzzy. A police briefing is slated to happen at 16:00 hours, w

here the polcie is expected to throw more light on the dteails.
