Dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar, who have been acquitted in the murder case of their daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj, have finally left Dasna jail in Ghaziabad on Monday.
They were escorted by police to Nupur's parents' house in Noida's Jalvayu Vihar, the same locality where they stayed when their daughter and their domestic help were murdered in 2008.
The couple were expected to walk out from Dasna prison on Firday, but the release was delayed due to the necessary paperwork. The Allahabad High Court on Thursday acquitted the Talwars of killing their teen-aged daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj Banjade, four years after they were convicted and jailed for life for the 2008 twin murders.

On Monday, they walked out of jail, moments after Rajesh Talwar's brother Dinesh Talwar and their lawyers Manoj Sisodia & Tanveer Ahmed Mir reached Dasna Jail.

However, even after their release, Talwars will continue to visit the jail to attend to inmates every 15 days. A jail official said that the dentist couple had helped revive the near 'defunct' dental department at the prison hospital. The official also said that Talwars have treated thousands of patients who are happy with their services
“We were concerned about the fate of our dental department after their (Talwars) release. They (Talwars) have assured us that they will visit jail to attend to inmates every 15 days even after their release,” jail doctor Sunil Tyagi told the news agency. The Talwars treated their fellow jail inmates for free and didn't take a single penny.
