Hemraj’s wife moves court, says he was under threat

Ghaziabad, March 27: The wife of Hemraj, who was killed along with teenaged girl Aarushi in Noida, today moved a court, trying the double murder case, seeking recording of her statement about a purported conversation with her husband who had talked of “threat” to his life.

43-year-old Khumkala, a resident of Arghakhanchi district in Nepal, in her application before the Special CBI court, said none of the probe agencies had recorded her statement in the murder case and claimed she was privy to some information which Hemraj shared with her over phone barely 15 days before he was killed.

“She wants to get her statement recorded in the case under section 311 of the CrPC,” Naresh Yadav, counsel of Khumkala, told PTI.

The court posted the matter for hearing till April 27.
