Aarushi murder case: CBI opposes Raj Kumar’s bail

September 12th, 2008

The CBI has opposed the bail for Raj Kumar, one of the key suspects in the Aarushi-Hemraj double murder case.

It has argued that, being a citizen of Nepal, Raj Kumar can flee the country. It also pointed out that scientific evidence point to his involvement in the crime.

A court in Ghaziabad on the outskirts of Delhi will decide Raj Kumar’s bail later on Friday.

The bail plea of Krishna, another suspect in the case will also be decided. RK Anand has arrived at the Ghaziabad court as part of Krishna’s defence team.

The two men are currently in jail for the murders of 13-year-old Aarushi Talwar and her family’s domestic help Hemraj in Noida.

The third man accused of being involved in the murder, Vijay Mandal, was released on Saturday.

The CBI has confirmed that it has no material evidence against any of the three men, a sign that the case has collapsed.
