Talwar couple found guilty of killing daughter Aarushi and servant Hemraj

NEW DELHI - A special CBI court on Monday convicted dentist Rajesh Tawlar and his wife Nupur Talwar for killing their daughter Aarushi and servant Hemraj.
Special CBI judge Shyam Lal held the couple guilty of murder and destruction of evidence under section 302 and 201 of Indian Penal code (IPC) respectively.
Rajesh Talwar was also separately held guilty, under section 203, of registering a false FIR. Soon after the judgment, Talwars issued a statement saying they were deeply disappointed and hurt by the verdict.
The two were taken into custody immediately after the verdict.The court will hear the arguments on the quantum of sentence on Tuesday.
The verdict comes almost five-and-a-half years after the sensational double murder was committed.

The CBI had accused the parents — Rajesh and Nupur Talwar — of being the killers, going by circumstantial evidence, testimony of witnesses and forensic reports.
The Talwars had all along claimed that "they have been framed" on the basis of conjectures and tutored witnesses.
When the Noida police first came to know on May 16, 2008 that the 14-year-old daughter of prominent dentist Dr Rajesh Talwar had been murdered at their residence in Jalvayu Vihar allegedly by their servant, Hemraj Banjade, it appeared as a regular murder case.
But things changed dramatically the very next day when Hemraj's body was found on the terrace of the house. The Noida police and two CBI teams investigated the case, which saw many twists and turns.

Two big sinkholes formed in Pokhara

Two big sinkholes have been formed in the city of Pokhara. The larger sinkhole is about eight feet wide and seven feet deep on Gagan man marg, in front of Kalika Boarding School. It was reported 8:30 p.m., BWS spokesman Harikrishna Mahat said.  The agency's crews noticed a nearby patch in the street and traced it back to Sept. 15 road work to repair a water main leak. However, Mahat said there's no way to tell whether that leak in any way contributed to the sink hole. The trench was compacted and repairs completed by 5:15 a.m., so residents weren't affected, he added. source:staradvertiser.com
