Investigations into the sensational murder of a teenaged girl and her domestic help have not yielded any result so far
NOIDA: Even as police groped about the identity of killer or killers of teenaged school girl Arushi Talwar and Nepalese domestic help Hemraj on Sunday, their post-mortem reports said they were done to death in a similar manner using the same weapon and around the same time.
Police questioned a compounder of 14-year-old Arushi's dentist parents Rajesh and Nupur Talwar and the son-in-law of Hemraj in connection with the double murder, sources said.
"Both of them were murdered in a similar manner using the same weapon at around same time," a senior police official said here.
The post mortem of Hemraj revealed that he had not consumed alcohol as alleged by police though liquor bottles were recovered from his room during investigations, the officials said.
Police has sent the vagina swab of Arushi, who was found murdered in her bedroom on Thursday to a laboratory here for testing if she was raped before her murder, the sources said.
Police are also questioning two other relatives of Hemraj besides "talking" to the parents of Arushi who was found murdered in her bed with her throat slit in her room on Thursday.
Hemraj was suspected to be behind the murder as he had gone "missing" but in a sensational twist to the case a retired police official found the servant's body from the terrace of the same house where the girl was murdered.
A day after Uttar Pradesh DGP Vikram Singh admitted to bungling in probe by local police, two officials Superintendent of Police Mahesh Kumar Mishra and Station House Officer of Sector 20 Police Station D R Nanoria were shifted and the state Task Force joined the probe by inspecting the residence of Talwars.
Mishra was transfered to STF Allahabad while Nanoria has been sent to police lines. Additional SP Ashok Tripathy, currently with STF, Allahabad, will take charge of the post held by Mishra.
Inspector General (Meerut Range) Gurdarshan Singh refuted suggestions that evidence could have been destroyed due to delay in discovering the body of Hemraj.
Meanwhile, a group of Nepali domestic helps staged a demonstration outside the Sector 20 police station against the way in which Noida Police had projected Hemraj as the prime suspect.
