The CBI Thursday asked the Supreme Court to dismiss the bail plea of Nupur Talwar who is in judicial custody for her alleged involvement in the double murder of her daughter Aarushi Talwar and domestic help Hemraj.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), in a 30-page affidavit, said that Nupur Talwar “is likely to tamper with the evidence and abscond in case she is released on bail”.
“The evidence so far recorded before the trial court is incriminating and hence there is every likelihood that the petitioner (Nupur Talwar) may abscond in the event of release on bail,” the investigating agency told the apex court, opposing her plea for bail.
Nupur Talwar has challenged the May 31 Allahabad High Court order rejecting her plea for bail. She was taken into custody April 30 and lodged in Dasna jail in Ghaziabad.
The CBI in its affidavit said that the accusation of “double murder and destruction of evidence” against Nupur Talwar were “well founded and evidence has started coming in”.
The CBI said that it had already moved the high court challenging a magistrate court’s order granting bail to her husband and co-accused Rajesh Talwar.
