Ghaziabad: Dr Nupur Talwar, who along with her husband Dr Rajesh Talwar was convicted for killing her daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj Banjade by a Ghaziabad court on Monday, has taken ill. Nupur and Rajesh have been lodged in Dasna jail and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court will pronounce the quantum of sentence in the Aarushi-Hemraj double murder case later on Tuesday.
Nupur has complained of uneasiness, anxiety and high blood pressure with jail authorities saying that her condition is being monitored. Rajesh, too, is reportedly suffering from high blood pressure but is doing fine.
"Doctors in our ladies wing are conducting Nupur Talwar's check-up but the situation is under control. Rajesh Talwar's blood pressure was slightly high but he is fine. Nupur is being treated for anxiety," said Dasna Jail jailor Vireshraj Sharma.
The Talwars have made it clear that they will challenge the verdict convicting them for the gruesome murders in the Allahabad High Court. Soon after the verdict on Monday, the issued a statement: "We are deeply disappointed, hurt and anguished for being convicted for a crime that we have not committed. We refuse to feel defeated and will continue to fight for justice."
Rajesh has been convicted under the Indian Penal Code Sections 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence, or giving false information to screen offender), 203 (giving false information in respect to an offence committed), 302 (murder) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention), while his wife Nupur has been found guilty under Sections 201, 302 and 34.
Conviction under IPC Section 302 (murder) carries a minimum punishment of imprisonment for life and shall also be liable to fine while the maximum is death.
On May 16, 2008, eight days before the teenager would have celebrated her 15th birthday, the Delhi Public School, Noida student, Aarushi, was found brutally murdered inside her bedroom.
Even as her parents claimed to have slept through the crime in an adjoining room, the police came up with a theory saying there were no signs of a forced entry or a robbery and curiously Aarushi's room was locked as usual from outside with the keys with her parents. The well known doctors Rajesh and Nupur Talwar said their domestic help Hemraj was missing, making the police name him as their first suspect. But the case turned on its head when Hemraj's body was found on the roof of the Talwar residence, making it a murder mystery like few others.
