To cover up their crime, they had "dressed up" the crime scene, he said and requested the court to frame charges against them.u00a0

Opposing the CBI argument, defence lawyer Manoj Sisodia submitted that the evidences produced by the CBI were irrelevant. The submission of the closure report itself was the evidence that there was no evidence against the Talwars, he said.u00a0

Most importantly, he said, all the scientific tests conducted by the CBI went against the agency.u00a0

Hence, the CBI had failed to prove the crime, counsel said.u00a0

To buttress defence arguments, the lawyer demonstrated the action using a golf stick, reiterating that the club could not be used as a weapon in Aarushi Talwar's small room.u00a0

Neither direct nor circumstantial evidence supported the CBI argument to frame the charges, he said, adding that the Talwars be discharged.u00a0
