Court okays narco test for Aarushi's parents

New Delhi: Who killed Aarushi Talwar? As the CBI searches for clues in one of India's biggest unsolved mysteries, the Ghaziabad CBI court has sanctioned a narco-analysis test on Aarushi's parents, Rajesh and Nupur Talwar.

The CBI had asked for legal permission for this test on Monday. Both of Aarushi's parents have already been put through lie detector and brain mapping tests. (In Pics:Aarushi case)

Speaking to NDTV, Aarushi's mother, Nupur Talwar, had pointed out that her husband had been put through a lie detector test earlier, and that "in the interest of justice for Aarushi, we are willing to undergo narco tests as many times as the CBI wants."

Eighteen months after 14-year-old Aarushi was found dead in her bedroom in Noida, the CBI is still trying to figure out who murdered the teenager. Hours after Aarushi's murder on May 15, 2008, her family's domestic help, Hemraj, was found dead on the terrace.

Eight days later, the Noida police arrested Aarushi's father, Rajesh, a dentist.  He was released in July 2008, after investigating officials admitted there was no evidence against him.

The Noida police was accused of making so many mistakes, including arresting Talwar without any evidence, that the case was transferred to the CBI.

In June 2008, the CBI arrested three men, including Krishna, a helper at Talwar's dental clinic, for Aarushi's arrest. The other two men worked as domestic helpers in the Talwars' neighbourhood. However, three months later, all three men were granted bail when the CBI admitted it had no hard evidence against them. The CBI claimed that in narco analyis tests, the men implicated themselves and each other, allegedly stating that they drank together at the Talwar home hours before Aarushi was killed. However, these narco-analysis tests are not admissible as evidence in court.
