Sometimes there are things that happen to other people which touch the lives of even those who don’t personally know them. Imagine a girl, petite, pretty, about to be fourteen, excitedly making plans for her fourteenth birthday party, brutally murdered in her bedroom. Aarushi Talwar. Sigh..
The police claim that she was murdered by her dad Rajesh Talwar, who was having an extra marital affair with a family friend, also his colleague, Anita Durani. According to the police, the girl knew about the affair and so did their domestic helper – Hemraj, so the father killed both.
I’m not saying that the police are right or wrong, but just imagine, if they are wrong what chaos they’ve caused. First, think of what the father must be going through losing his only daughter and being arrested for her murder, being accused for seeing his colleague which people claim was so close to the Talwar family that they were almost like an extended family. Second, think of her mother, Nupur Talwar, whose happy normal family is shattered and been taken away from her, first her only daughter and then her husband. Third, think of Hemraj’s family, what they must be going through, with media reporting that he was having an illicit relationship with the daughter. Fourth, think about the Durani family, which is just like Talwars extended family. Both the couples are dentists and have opened a clinic together. Both have daughters of almost the same age.
Think about Anita Durani, who’s been accused of having an affair with Aarushi’s dad, being accused as being the “cause” for murder. The proof? Call records. Police found numerous long calls between Rajesh Talwar’s and Anita Durani’s mobile numbers. But do you think it proves that the two were having an affair? Don’t you think theres a slightest possibility that Rajesh’s wife would sometimes use his phone to make those phone calls? Infact there are numerous possibilities.
Would a father actually kill his own daughter to hide his extra marital affair? Could a doctor actually be stupid enough to think that forensic experts won’t uncover it? I wonder.
Aarushi, May you find justice soon. Amen |
