No attempt made to arrest Nupur Talwar: CBI

The CBI today said no attempt was made to arrest dentist Nupur Talwar, against whom a special court in Ghaziabad has issued a non-bailable warrant in the Aarushi murder case, after she had approached the Supreme Court.

CBI officials said the impression given out by Nupur that the agency was hounding her was absolutely baseless. They maintained that no attempt was made to arrest her after 11am on Thursday after she moved the Supreme Court seeking relief against the NBW issued by the Ghaziabad court.

The officials said that they were tracking Nupur's movement in pursuance of an earlier Supreme Court order asking her not to leave the borders of National Capital Region.

The CBI said it had to inform in case she violated the Supreme Court order.

The CBI court in Ghaziabad had earlier this week issued the NBW against Nupur after she failed to appear before it in connection with the twin murder case of Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj.

The agency had carried out searches at her premises in Delhi and neighbouring Noida on April 11 following the warrant issued against her, but had not been able to locate her.

Nupur and her husband Rajesh Talwar, also a dentist, are facing trial in the nearly four-year-old twin murder case.

Aarushi was found dead with her throat slit at their Noida residence on the night intervening May 15 and 16, 2008, while the body of Hemraj was recovered from the terrace of the house the next day.
