Arushi

Ghaziabad, May 2: In a major setback for Nupur Talwar in the Aarushi Hemraj murder case, the sessions court of additional district judge Shyam Lal on Wednesday refused to grant bail to her, saying she is an "accused in double murders - of her own daughter and a poor servant - Hemraj".

The court denied bail on the grounds that she may tamper with evidence if granted bail.

On Tuesday, Nupur Talwar's lawyer had sought bail for her saying that she is the mother of the daughter who was killed to which CBI had opposed saying that "a poor servant was also killed and nobody was talking about him".

While pronouncing his order, ADJ Shyam Lal said that Nupur Talwar may scuttle the trial in the case despite an order from the Supreme Court and cause hindrance in the process of law.

The court also observed that "prima facie, you (Nupur) are accused in murder and destruction of evidence".

CBI officials say that it is a big victory for them as Nupur Talwar was evading the law for over one year.

Nupur Talwar is presently lodged in the Dasna Jail, after the court refused to grant her interim bail on Monday.

Her daughter Aarushi and servant Hemraj were found killed in their house on May 16, 2008 after which CBI had first arrested three servants - Krishna, Rajkumar and Vijay Mandal. However, in December 2010 agency filed a closure report in the case and presented evidence against the parents.

On April 27, Nupur Talwar was directed by the Supreme Court to surrender before the trial court in Ghaziabad in the twin murder case of her 14-year-old daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj in Noida four years ago.

Refusing to stay the non-bailable warrant issued against her by the special CBI court, a bench of justices A K Patnaik and J S Khehar asked her to approach the trial judge for bail after surrendering which shall expeditiously consider her plea.

The court also turned down her plea for granting protection against any arrest on her surrender.

"We should not anticipate about what the trial court is going to do. You appear before it and the court shall consider your bail. If you do not get bail then there are higher courts," the bench said.

The bench pointed out that her husband also got bail in the twin murder case.

"We are not inclined to stay the operation of the order of NBW issued by the Special Judge, Ghaziabad. But we direct that petitioner (Nupur Talwar) will appear on Monday and move her bail. In case application for bail is moved, the same shall be considered expeditiously," the bench said.

Kolkata, July 13: Debendra Nath Roy, a member of the West Bengal legislative assembly (MLA) from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), was found dead near his house in north Bengal’s Uttar Dinajpur district on Monday morning.

BJP leaders and his family members have alleged that he was murdered. 

BJP president JP Nadda has expressed “shock” at Roy’s “deplorable and suspected heinous killing” and condemned the incident.

He questioned the rise of “gunda raj” in West Bengal under Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s watch amid the worsening law and order in the state, which is slated to hold assembly polls next year, where the BJP is seen to be the primary challenger to the CM’s citadel.

“The suspected heinous killing of Debendra Nath Ray, BJP MLA from Hemtabad in West Bengal, is extremely shocking and deplorable. This speaks volumes of the gunda raj and failure of law and order in the Mamata Banerjee-led government. People will not forgive such a government in the future. We strongly condemn the incident,” he tweeted.

The BJP has demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the lawmaker’s unnatural death.

His body was found in the balcony of a shop near his house at Bondol in Hemtabad, Uttar Dinajpur district, on Monday morning.

“The body has been sent for autopsy. We are investigating the case. No one has been detained for questioning or arrested so far,” said a police official from Uttar Dinajpur district, requesting anonymity.

“Roy was murdered. The way his body was found suggests that it was a premeditated murder and the accused tried to pass it off as a suicide. The ruling TMC (Trinamool Congress) is involved in his murder,” alleged Rahul Sinha, national secretary, BJP.

The TMC, however, refuted the BJP’s allegations.

“I heard that he (Roy) died by suicide. Police are investigating the case. Let the truth come out. If he has been murdered, then the culprits should be identified and punished as per law,” said Kanhaiyalal Agarwal, a TMC leader from Uttar Dinajpur district.

BJP leaders said some people had called Roy around 1 am on Monday and he went out of his home. His body was found on Monday morning.

Roy had won the Bengal assembly elections from Hemtabad on a Communist Party of India (Marxist) ticket in 2016, but joined the BJP last year.
