Click to play videoNew Delhi: The story of the Noida double murders is getting murkier by the day. Investigations are on, but there's been a twist in the tale.
The police tried to take Arushi Talwar's parents to an undisclosed location on Thursday night, but gave up after the media started following them.
The Talwars and two close family members were taken in a Honda Civic car. Earlier there were reports that a police team may be going to Haridwar, possibly to look for the murder weapon.
While the collection of material evidence in this case is nearly complete, the police are yet to recover the weapon, which will be a crucial evidence.
Arushi's and the other victim Hemraj's cell phones are also missing, though the calls were traced with the help of the service providers.
Meanwhile, the police on Thursday hinted that Arushi's murder was either a crime of passion or an honour killing.
Hemraj, the domestic help at the Talwar household, was murdered because he probably saw Arushi being murdered.
The police will take 15 more days to find out who killed Arushi and Hemraj, said Noida Senior Superintendent of Police, A Satish Ganesh, at a press conference on Thursday.
"The police are taking the help of Arushi’s friend Anmol in establishing a profile of the girl. The two friends had communicated 688 times on phone between April 1 and May 15," Ganesh had said.
He revealed said the murder victims’ viscera are being examined to find if the two were poisoned though the autopsy had ruled out poisoning.
Sources tell CNN-IBN that senior police officers questioned Arushi's parents, Dr Rajesh Talwar and Dr Nupur Talwar, and her uncle for almost two hours.
Fourteen-year-old Arushi Talwar was murdered in her bedroom last Friday. The police earlier suspected that she was killed by the Talwars' domestic help, Hemraj, who had gone missing.
However, a day later, Hemraj's dead body was discovered on the terrace of the Talwars' home.
The questions that remain unanswered are:
- Why hadn't the police searched the terrace a day before? Even the weapon used in the murder hadn't been traced.
- The mattress that Arushi was found lying on was left on the terrace, to face the sun and since Sunday, the incessant rains. Why hadn't her room been sealed?
- There is no clear consensus on who found the girl's body. Was it the parents, who are said to have been keeping their daughter locked at nights or is it the maid, as claimed by Arushi's father?
