Why is Nupur Talwar suddenly an accused now?

New Delhi: After three years of playing the role of a supportive wife, Nupur Talwar has been named accused along with her husband Rajesh Talwar of murdering their daughter Aarushi.

But what are the incidents that pointed towards her involvement in the case.

May 2008: Rajesh Talwar being taken away by the UP Police after he was accused of killing his daughter. His wife, Nupur pleaded with the country saying her husband was innocent.

For three years she essayed the role of the grieving mother and supportive wife. Now, she is accused, along with her husband of killing her daughter.

So why is Nupur Talwar suddenly an accused now? According to the closure report filed by the CBI in December - the evidence against Nupur Talwar was enough to name her as a suspect as well.

Charge against Nupur Talwar

According to the Talwars' maid, Bharti's testimony to the CBI, Nupur was initially very calm but within minutes she was weeping and said Hemraaj had killed her daughter. The CBI question: how could Nupur know within a few minutes that Hemraj was responsible.

Two years after the murder, Nupur Talwar told the CBI that missing golf clubs had been found in their loft a year ago. The CBI wanted to know why they were not informed earlier. Also, two of the clubs seemed to have been cleaned by some chemical.

There were also major discrepancies in Nupur Talwar's narco analysis tests.

The CBI also pointed at their joint involvement in several instances.

Charges against the couple

They could not explain why Aarushi's door was locked and could not tell the police where the keys were.

The terrace door had never been locked before the night of the murder. The CBI asked in its report: why was it locked that night and why wasn’t the police informed.

More damningly, sub section 3 of the last paragraph of the closure report states, “the investigation reveals suspicious actions by the parents post occurrence but the circumstantial evidence collected during investigation has critical and substantial gaps. There is absence of a clear cut motive and incomplete understanding of the sequence of events.”

On February 28, Rajesh and Nupur Talwar will once against visit the Ghaziabad court premises, both of them as accused - accused of a role in the death of their only daughter.
