New Delhi, September 08: The country’s biggest murder mystery got a mysterious twist recently when Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the agency investigating the case, admitted that teenaged victim Aarushi Talwar’s DNA samples were tampered.
While the needle of suspicion was pointing towards the pathologist working on the case – Dr Richa Sexana – the bigger question has been who ordered the rigging of this crucial bit of evidence.
From doctor parents Nupur and Rajesh Talwar to domestic help or aides Vajay Mandal, Krishna and Rajkumar, eventually every suspect was let off the hook. Now 16 months after Aarushi’s death, there’s a new suspect in the Aarushi murder cover-up.
Sources claim that Richa was the one who tried to hush up the Aarushi matter by destroying evidence. She was evidently ‘guided’ to do so by someone influential.
What makes even more suspicious about the pathologist’s involvement is that Aarushi’s mother Dr Nupur Talwar was treating her daughter for three years.
But here is where the case enters the realm of bizarre. Richa was transferred to Fatehpur and has officially been absent since January 2008.
Aarushi’s post-mortem was conducted on May 16, 2008 by Richa herself. Headlines Today has documents from the hospital that spell out the fact that Richa was not even present in the hospital during that period.
“There is nothing in the hospital records from April onwards that suggest that Dr Richa Saxena was working at the Gautam Budh Nagar district hospital on a regular basis. With reference to her own admission, Dr Saxena was on forced leave at that point of time,” a senior hospital official disclosed.
The hospital has declared her an absconder. Headlines Today tried to trace Dr Richa at her Noida residence but her son said that she had gone to Meerut.
