The Aarushi-Hemraj Murder Case - A view

Came across a detailed investigation in Tehelka yesterday morning, Have read it thrice already since yesterday. I don’t know how true it is, but as long as Tehelka’s reputation goes, they won’t print anything so serious, with so much confidence in their words. Till last year even I believed the media reports that said ‘The Double murder’ was a honor killing,  but recently, few months back, after reading a lot of reports on honor killings and the rapes around the city, it is a little difficult to believe the honor killing motive linked with the double murder.
As the Tehelka report goes, there are absolutely 0 evidences against the Talwars, and substantially evidence against the aides. I somehow come to believe this, even if I sound biased or irrational, I don’t see the point of killing their only daughter because she was on the bed with their house helper. Firstly, as many such cases I have heard about, the abuse/bad behavior/torture from the side of the family in such cases happens over a period of time before the actual action (killing), but here as per the reports, the Talwar family looked a happy family, with none of Aarushi’s family, friends or even her school’s staff complained of she being depressed or any negative change in the behavior. I don’t believe the fact that a father will get up, pick up a golf club, enter his daughter’s room, just because he heard some noise, and not even think once before hitting her on the head. And even if it did happen, is this one of the evidence the CBI is fighting the case on?
Secondly, After suffering mentally, physically, financially for almost 2-3 years after their daughter’s death, being blamed as the murderers of their only daughter, being almost convicted, no person will want the case to reopen, simply, because if they were really the murderers they would have dreaded conviction, and would have relieved after the CBI closed the case, declared no evidence against Talwars. If the Parents hated their daughter so much, that they killed her, wouldn’t they just get back to their normal lives after the case being declared closed.
Thirdly, the report mentions that the sequence of the crime could possibly be this (confessed by the aides in the narco and other tests) The aides gathered in Hemraj’s room, consumed alcohol, discussed Aarushi, entered Aarushi’s room, and probably tried getting close to her, and her refusal made them hit her. Well, isn’t this believable? Haven’t we heard about all the gang rapes happening around? The fact that they had consumed alcohol only makes a little more believable.
I don’t know if the report is completely true, but read it once, and you will be left with so many questions, and absolutely no trust in the Indian Judicial system, The police and The CBI.
