Within 24 hours of taking over the
Aarushi Talwar murder case, the
CBI is making progress in its investigations.
They have already got custody of Dr Rajesh Talwar, accused by the Noida police of killing his daughter and their domestic help.
A forensic team spent the day picking up fingerprints from the Talwars flat in Noida.
On top of this, according to sources, the CBI said the UP police had mishandled the case and that they could have cracked it in 24 hours.
All this indicates that the CBI might be close to naming the killer soon.
In court the CBI said that they hoped Dr Talwar would lead them to the murder weapon.
A CBI team also questioned the Talwar's close friend and business partner Dr Anita Durrani.
Their driver Umesh and Hemraj's brother-in-law Jeevan are also being questioned. But for now, the CBI is not saying anything.
Earlier, the Noida court granted the CBI one-day remand of Dr Talwar, prime accused in Aarushi Talwar murder case.
'"CBI has asked for seven days, but the court has sent Talwar in remand till 5 pm for a day" said Pinaki Mishra, lawyer for Talwar family.
On being asked about the timing of the next hearing, he said: ''This will be decided after remand. In case, there is any recovery then he'll appear in CBI court or he will be taken to the jail directly.''
The case has been transferred to the CBI court in Ghaziabad. The CBI had moved an application for seven-day remand of Dr Talwar.
He was arrested by the Uttar Pradesh Police for allegedly murdering his daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj.
The CBI had registered a case of murder after the UP government handed the probe to the central agency.
Meanwhile, a day after the Uttar Pradesh government transfered three senior policemen for botching up the case, women and child development minister Renuka Chaudhary has said the transfers are not enough and strict action should have been taken against them.
