On December 29 CBI had filed a closure report in a Ghaziabad court, saying it had failed to identify a suspect
After her murder, Aarushi Talwar's parents shifted from their Noida residence to Azad Apartments in Hauz Khas. Since Wednesday evening, when the news about the case broke out, the multi-storeyed complex was being swamped by mediapersons, and OB vans were blocking the narrow lane.
A day after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) asked a Ghaziabad special court to close the murder case, the Talwars' residence in south Delhi was literally turned into a fortress, where entry of outsiders was prohibited.
Aarushi, daughter of dentist parents Rajesh and Nupur Talwar, was found murdered under mysterious circumstances at her parents' Jalvayu Vihar apartment in Delhi's suburban Noida May 16, 2008. The family's domestic help, Hemraj, whom Noida police initially suspected for the murder, was also found killed on the flat's terrace a day later.
"We are not allowing any outsiders, and especially, journalists to enter the complex since yesterday (Wednesday). Many come to the apartment premises and they never leave," the security guard at the apartments block said.
Since people from all quarters were flocking the apartments, many residents were complaining about the unwanted attention and they being denied their evening walks.
"We have no problem of Talwars staying here, but the unwanted attention the apartment is getting is not good. We are not even able to take a walk as many ask for information which we are not aware of," a resident of the building said.
Another resident said: "With the police officials and media people making a beeline to their apartment, our reputation is at stake as it is noted for all the wrong reasons, which is bothering us."
After a detailed two-and-a-half year probe the CBI said it found it impossible to reach any plausible conclusion.

| Even as the CBI has sought closure in the Aarushi Talwar murder case, union Law Minister M. Veerappa Moily said the government will look at the lapses in the probe that led to the case remaining unsolved even after more than two years. "I felt it's a brutal murder, known brutal murder. It's a matter somewhere we need to work on... where the lapses are," Moily said in an interview to a news channel. |
