Rajesh and Nupur Talwar, facing trial in the 2008 murder case of their teenage daughter Aarushi, approached the Supreme Court on Friday seeking direction to the CBI to place before the trial court narco-analysis and brain mapping test reports of their three helpers who were initially the accused in the case. The dentist couple approached the apex court challenging the order of the trial court and the Allahabad high court dismissing their plea for a direction to the CBI to produce the test reports of Raj Kumar, Vijay Mandal and Krishna in the trial court. A bench headed by Justice B.S. Chauhan listed the case for hearing on October 7. Opposing the plea of Talwars, the agency told the bench that it will file a short affidavit on their petition. Aarushi was found dead with her throat slit in her bedroom on May 16, 2008. The initial suspicion went on Hemraj whose body was later found on the terrace at their residence in Jalvayu Vihar in Noida on the outskirts of Delhi. The CBI has claimed that the murder of 14-year-old Aarushi five years ago was carried out by her parents and that no outsider was present in the house when the crime was committed. The high court, while dismissing their plea on narco-analysis and brain mapping test reports, however accepted their plea to have the sound simulation test report produced before the trial court. The test was conducted by the CBI on the issue of how the Talwars could not hear anything when the murders were taking place. The CBI sessions court in Ghaziabad, where the trial is going on, had rejected these applications on June 18.
