New Delhi: Dr Rajesh Talwar, father of murdered Delhi Public School student Aarushi, was attacked on Ghaziabad court premises by a young man on Tuesday. Talwar was hit on the face by a meat cleaver and was seen bleeding profusely from
the face. He was taken by his lawyers to hospital. His attacker Utsav Sharma has
been arrested. He was a student of the prestigious National Institute of Design,
Ahmedabad. He he had attacked SPS Rathore outside the court in Panchkula near
Chandigarh on February 9,2010. The CBI has been arguing in court that it should be
allowed to close its investigation into the Aarushi case because it has not found
enough evidence to charge anyone with her murder. However, the agency has listed
her father Rajesh Talwar as its only suspect. The Talwars had on January 11 filed an
application seeking all documents submitted by the CBI in support of the closure
report. The CBI court had on January 7 said that Aarushi's parents are entitled to get
a copy of murder case's closure the report. The CBI had argued that Rajesh Talwar
had no 'locus standi' to argue as he was "no more a complainant" in the case. Aarushi,
14, was found murdered under mysterious circumstances in her apartment in Noida
on May 16, 2008. Their domestic help Hemraj's body was found on the flat's terrace
a day later.
