After being denied bail earlier in the day by a CBI court in the 2008 murders of her teenaged daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj, dentist Nupur Talwar approached the Supreme Court for relief in the evening. The CBI court rejected bail stating she may hinder the trial and flee from justice if granted relief.
The court of Additional District Judge S Lal, which had reserved the order on the bail application of Nupur yesterday, said while prima facie she was accused of killing her own progeny and the servant who came from Nepal, she may also create a hindrance in the smooth disposal of trial if given bail.
Ordering 14-days judicial custody, the court, in its four-page order, also said that Nupur may flee from justice to delay the trial in the case.
Nupur, who was taken to Dasna Jail immediately after the order, will appear in the court of Special CBI Magistrate who is expected to commit the case to sessions for trial.
Seeking Nupur's bail, her lawyer G P Thareja had earlier said she and her husband Rajesh Talwar, also a dentist, had undergone all sorts of scientific tests like polygraph, brain mapping and narcoanalysis which were "clean like a whistle".
CBI public prosecutor R K Saini had countered that Nupur wanted to get out of the clutches of the court as despite repeated warrants, bailable and non-bailable, she did not appear before the Magistrate's court until the Supreme Court directed her to do so.
