After the Allahabad High Court observed that dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar could not be held guilty of killing their daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj, ADG BSF Arun Kumar, who had headed a CBI team into the sensational murder case, has called for a review of criminal justice system.
"It is a well-discussed case. Subject to the confirmation of the court (about Talwar couple being innocent), think of the family and what has happened to them. Let us review our criminal justice system," Arun Kumar said.
