Ghaziabad: A court in Ghaziabad on Thursday rejected the bail plea of Dr Rajesh Talwar, the dentist accused of murdering his daughter and domestic help, after the Central Bureau of Investigation claimed that it had reasonable grounds to suspect his involvement.
Rejecting the bail application, District and Sessions Judge Narender Kumar Jain said Talwar would continue to be in the judicial custody till July 2. He was arrested on May 23 by Noida police for allegedly murdering his 14-year-old daughter Arushi and domestic help Hemraj.
The case was later transferred to CBI which carried out a custodial interrogation of Talwar, a dentist by profession. Arguing on behalf of Talwar, his counsel Satish Tamta stated before the court that nothing incriminating was found against his client by the CBI, which continued to remain inconsistent about his involvement in the case.
Countering the bail application, CBI counsel A K Saini, while maintaining it continued to be a blind murder case, contended that there was reasonable ground to believe that Talwar was involved in the crime.
Earlier, Talwar's counsel said there is no evidence with the CBI against him till date, except for a statement taken by the CBI officials under 161 Criminal Procedure Code whereby he would be helping the probe agency in finding out the evidence in the crime.
Tamta pointed out that the statement given before the investigators was not admissible in law. While making it clear that Talwar would continue to cooperate in the case, the defence lawyer even highlighted the Talwar family's service in the field of medicine and said he was from an illustrious family and would work along with the CBI in finding out the culprit besides joining any further scientific tests suggested by the probe agency
