Aarushi case: Whisky bottle prints exonerate us, say Talwars

NEW DELHI: Nupur and Rajesh Talwar contested the CBI's theory that "none other than Talwars" could have murdered their daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj and told the Supreme Court the whisky bottle with fingerprints held the key to their innocence.

Nupur accused the CBI of jumping to conclusions and attempting to implicate them in the double murder case without evidence.

In her response to the agency's affidavit, she said, "It is the case of the CBI itself that blood of both the victims was found on the whisky bottle but that fingerprints on the bottle could not be identified. In fact, there are three chance prints which were detected from the bottle, which could not be connected with the petitioner and her husband. This itself is suggestive of outside entry and completely exonerates the petitioner and her husband."

The CBI had filed a closure report before the trial court without naming any accused in the double murder, but had supported the trial judge's March 3 decision to summon the Talwars to face trial. The Talwars have moved Supreme Court against the trial court's order.
