Aarushi murder case: Talwars to walk free today; in jail, they gave medical service for free

Dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar, the parents of 14-year-old Aarushi who are lodged in prison, gave medical service for free to their inmates and refused remuneration.

Last week, Talwars were acquitted by the Allahabad High Court in teen-aged daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj Banjade's murder case, four years after they were convicted and jailed for life for the 2008 twin murders.

The couple will walk out of the jail today. They were expected to walk out from Dasna prison on Firday, but the release was delayed due to the necessary paperwork.

"Talwars gave medical service for free and refused remuneration. If they would have taken it, amount would have been approximately Rs 49,500," said the jailor

The jailor also said that Talwars will continue to visit jail periodically so that medical assistance provided by them to inmates can continue.

A jail official said that the dentist couple had helped revive the near 'defunct' dental department at the prison hospital.

“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.
