Ghaziabad:
Rajesh and Nupur Talwar, accused of murdering their daughter Aarushi Talwar and domestic help Hemraj, are likely to record their statements in a special CBI court at Ghaziabad today.
This is a crucial stage in the trial where witness examination is over and now the main accused will give their statements before final arguments take place.
But the Talwars wanted 14 more people, including ADG (law and order) and the then CBI Joint Director Arun Kumar, to record statements as witnesses, names which they feel have been deliberately left out of the CBI list. The dentist couple has moved the Supreme Court which will hear the plea today.
Special CBI judge Shyam Lal had, however, rejected the defence counsel's plea and ordered to record the statements of the Talwar couple, who are the main accused.
The statement of CBI investigating officer AGL Kaul, the last prosecution witness, has already been recorded.
The CBI had told the court that teenager Aarushi Talwar's murder five years back was carried out by her parents Rajesh and Nupur Talwar and no outsider was present.
In his deposition before the Additional Judge, Kaul, who headed the CBI probe, had told the court that their investigations revealed no evidence of any third person's entry in the house.
