Noida: Dr Rajesh Talwar, father of slain teenager Arushi Talwar, is to be released on personal bond on two sureties of Rs 5 lakh each.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) said that there is no evidence against Dr Talwar and so can be released under Section 169 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

Dr Talwar's brother Dinesh Talwar and family friend Arun Mittal filled in two surety bonds by submitting their car papers.

Court order for Dr Talwar's release is expected shortly. However, it is unlikely that he''ll be released on Friday as his lawyers won't be able to present the papers to the jail authorities on time.

He was arrested as a prime suspect in the double murder case of Arushi and domestic help Hemraj.

Arushi and Hemraj were murdered on May 15 and a few days’ later Noida police arrested Dr Rajesh Talwar claiming he was the killer.

The case was later handed over to the CBI and after more than a month, on Friday the agency in a press conference claimed to have solved the case.

Joint Director, CBI, Arun Kumar claimed that Dr Talwar’s medical assistant Krishna, Durranis domestic help Rajkumar and another domestic help Vijay Mandal were the killers.

Krishna and Rajkumar have been sent to 14 days of judicial custody.
