Continuing its probe into the murder of Noida teenaged girl Arushi and her domestic help Hemraj, the CBI conducted a lie-detector test on her mother Nupur Talwar and a psycho-analysis test on her dentist father Rajesh Talwar, accused of killing his daughter.

The investigation agency also questioned Raj Kumar, the domestic help of Anita Durrani, an associate of the Talwars, seized his mobile phone and sent it for forensic examination.

The CBI also continued to question Rajesh Talwar’s compounder Krishna, at present in the custody of the agency.

Nupur was put to lie-detector test two-three days back as the CBI wanted to verify the information given by her about the case and to ascertain if she was trying to conceal any fact from the investigating agency.

The behavioural pattern of the girl’s mother was also studied in AIIMS, CBI sources said, adding she was not an accused in the case.

The agency made an attempt to conduct a fresh search of the Sector-25 house of the Talwars but could not be finish it as dozens of television cameras were seen following the sleuths to the rooftop prompting the CBI to call off their exercise.

The CBI was unhappy with the media’s ‘intrusion’ and the matter was taken up with Noida authorities.

CBI Director Vijay Shanker had earlier this week alleged that television channels had been intruding into various crime locations and trying to force a statement out of CBI officials probing the case.

“The media should remain in their limits and allow the investigating agency to function,” the CBI director had said.
