CBI to approach Supreme Court after Allahabad HC acquitted Talwars

New Delhi, Dec 23: After the Allahabad High court acquitted Talwars, CBI has decided to approach Supreme Court. Rajesh Talwar and Nupur Talwar were released of charges in the murder case of their daughter Aarushi Talwar and domestic help Hemraj.

"The agency will file an appeal in the apex court before the end of this month against the acquittal verdict" the senior Central Bureau of Investigation official said.

On October 12, a bench of Justice BK Narayana and Justice AK Mishra of the Allahabad high court had acquitted the dentist couple by giving them the benefit of doubt in the murder of 14-year-old Aarushi and Hemraj at their Jalvayu Vihar home in Noida on May 16, 2008.

The high court had upheld an appeal by the Talwars against a Ghaziabad CBI court order awarding them life imprisonment on November 26, 2013, bringing an end to a nine-year ordeal of the couple.
