Ex-CBI man for review of criminal justice system

New Delhi, Oct. 12: ADG BSF Arun Kumar, who had headed a CBI team into the Aarushi Talwar murder case, on Thursday called for a review of criminal justice system following the acquittal of the Talwar couple by the Allahabad high court.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team under Mr Kumar had concluded that Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj were murdered by Krishna Thadarai, a help at Talwar’s clinic, his friend Rajkumar, a domestic servant with Praful and Anita Durrani who were Talwars’ friends, and Vijay Mandal, driver of Talwars’ neighbour.

The findings, however, were trashed by the then CBI director Ashwani Kumar who found holes in the investigation by Arun Kumar.

“It is a well-discussed case. Subject to the confirmation of the court (about Talwar couple being innocent), think of the family and what has happened to them. Let us review our criminal justice system,” Arun Kumar told PTI.

He said nobody should face what the Talwars had faced.
