Aarushi: SC notice to Talwars on acquittal

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday admitted an appeal against the acquittal of dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar in the 2008 twin murder case of their daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj. The plea was filed by Khumkala Banjade, the wife of Hemraj. A Bench issued notice to the Talwars, who were acquitted by the Allahabad High Court in October last year. Banjade filed an appeal in December against the acquittal. Later, the CBI also filed an appeal against their acquittal. In May 2008, 14-year-old Aarushi was found dead with her throat slit. PTI
