Court extends bail for Rajesh Talwar in Aarushi case

The Sessions court in Ghaziabad on Wednesday, extended the bail of Dr Rajesh Talwar and has asked his wife Nupur to appear in the court within 30 days, in the Aarushi Talwar-Hemraj double murder case. Taking cognisance of the Supreme Court order, the court rejected the Central Bureau of Investigation’s plea of taking Aarushi’s father into custody. The CBI on Wednesday had asked for cancellation of the bail of Dr Rajesh Talwar and had asked for judicial custody of his wife Nupur. Talwar’s lawyer told the court that he has been granted bail by the Supreme Court. The CBI had told the court that the agency wanted the bail to be cancelled as it was conditional and so Dr Rajesh Talwar should be arrested and he should seek fresh bail.
