Noida: Dr Rajesh Talwar's medical assistant Krishna, Talwars close associates Durranis' domestic help Rajkumar and the domestic help of Talwar's neighbour, Vijay Mandal are now the main accused in the Arushi-Hemraj double murder case.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) claims they attempted to rape Arushi and afterwards killed her and Hemraj.
However, the families of three accused men say they are being framed simply because they are poor.
"All the accusations false. He is being framed as he is poor," Narender, Rajkumar's brother, says.
"I don't believe in CBI's new theory. My maternal uncle is innocent," says Sunita, Krishna's niece.
CNN-IBN tracked Mandal's family in Madhubani in Bihar and they too believe he is innocent.
"I am sure my son is completely innocent, " Koila Devi, Mandal's mother, says.
The CBI is yet to back up the arrests of the three with any concrete evidence.
Ironically in Dr Talwar's case, lack of evidence had been cited as the reason for his release.
The CBI subjected the three accused to polygraph tests, psychoanalyses, brain mapping and narco analyses even before they were arrested.
"They (CBI) have not recovered anything from the three accused. They took Krishna in remand but failed to recover anything. They took Rajkumar in remand and once again failed to recover anything. Vijay Mandal is to be produced in court tomorrow. Let's see what happens now," Sanjay Tyagi, defence lawyer, says.
All that the CBI has are the statements of the accused recorded under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and the results of scientific tests. Both are not admissible in the court of law as evidence.
If the CBI doesn't gather enough proof, the investigating agency might just end up with a lot of egg on its face.
