A day after
the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) confirmed
that Arushi's murder was pre-meditated and deliberate,
the CBI took prime suspect -- Compounder Krishna
to an undisclosed location reportedly for a
narco-analysis test. This move comes in after
the CBI conducted the second lie detector test
on Krishna in connection with the gruesome murder
of Arushi and domestic help Hemraj on Tuesday
(June 10).
Sources said that Krishna,
the 23-year-old Nepalese compounder, cracked
during the interrogation by the CBI. He has
reportedly told the sleuths that he knows where
the murder weapon may be.
Krishna has now emerged
as the focus of the CBI investigations which
now seem to have virtually discarded the approach
taken by the UP police earlier, that labelled
Arushi's father Dr Talwar prime suspect and
suggested the murder was a crime of passion.
The case was subsequently transferred to the
premier investigation agency.
It has been established,
from fingerprints lifted from the scene of crime,
that Krishna was at the Talwar home in Noida
on the night of May 15 when Arushi and Hemraj,
the family's domestic help, were murdered.
Sources said the man, who
had been Dr Talwar's receptionist and compounder
till the schoolgirl was murdered, said during
interrogation that he could lead CBI's sleuths
to the murder weapon and the missing mobile
phones of the deceased.
His lie detector tests,
conducted on Monday and Tuesday, indicates the
murder weapon was possibly a khukri - a Nepalese
knife.
However, following the
lie detector test, Krishna himself on Tuesday
alleged that investigating agencies and doctors
were colluding to frame him in an attempt to
save the father of the slain girl.
In remarks that gave a
new twist to the sensational Noida double murder,
Krishna protested his innocence and said he
had not killed the 14-year-old girl. "I
did not do anything. I did not kill Arushi,"
a sobbing Krishna said after he was subjected
to a lie detector test for the second consecutive
day on Tuesday (June 10).
CBI: Twin murder a pre-meditated
plan
Earlier on Tuesday (June
10) CBI said that the twin murder, including
that of Arushi, was a pre-meditated plan and
not done on the spur of the moment, as claimed
by Noida police. Highly placed sources in CBI
said that the "murderers", which can
be two in number, had planned these murders
well in advance and studied all cover-up operations
meticulously.
With this observation, the theory of Noida police
that Rajesh Talwar had allegedly murdered his
daughter Arushi and domestic help Hemraj on
the spur of the moment after finding them in
an objectionable position', has fallen flat.
Sources say the killers had gained friendly
entry into the house before committing the ghastly
crime.
A CBI team had re-visited
the Talwar's residence in Noida last night and
re-created the entire crime scene again, based
on the statement given by the compounder. Some
of the relatives of Arushi and Hemraj were also
questioned by the agency.
Meanwhile, the bail application
of Dr Talwar, prime accused in the twin murder,
was dismissed by a CBI special court yesterday
(June 10) saying it was not empowered to take
up the matter. Talwar was arrested on May 23
by the Noida Police.
UP police began the probe
but soon faced allegations over improper investigation.
Following this, the case was transferred to
CBI which began its probe on June 1.
