Besides, he also quoted CBI's arguments that walls of Talwar's flat were washed soon after the killing, statements of a prosecution witness which said there was no grief on the faces of parents and their clothes were fresh and wrinkle free when he visited on May 16, the day Aarushi's body was found.

In its order, the court also mentioned CBI's claims that the wounds on the neck of Hemraj and Aarushi were caused by surgical equipment which could have been a work of trained professional like Rajesh and Nupur.

The defence had rejected the theory saying these wounds could have been caused by a sharp weapon like 'Khukri' which was common among Nepali citizens.

Aarushi was found dead in her bedroom at Talwar's Jalvayu Vihar residence in Noida on May 16, 2008. Next day body of domestic help Hemraj, who was initially suspected of killing her, was also found on the terrace of their flat.
