Ghaziabad: Describing as “totally baseless” the CBI theory that Rajesh and Nupur Talwar killed Aarushi and Hemraj after a “sudden provocation”, defence lawyer today told a CBI court here that there was no evidence to prove that the domestic help was murdered in the teenager's room.  

On the first day of defence's final arguments, Talwars' lawyer Tanveer Ahmed Mir told the court that CBI's theory of “grave and sudden provocation” was based on report of director of Gujarat Forensic Science University (GFSU) Mahendra Singh Dahiya.

“Dahiya's report, which directly points finger on Talwars, is totally baseless and was prepared to implicate the dentist couple,” the lawyer said.

Mir claimed that Dahiya never visited the scene of crime, but “prepared report against Rajesh and Nupur Talwar”.  “Dahiya prepared his report on the basis of 14 photographs related to the scene of crime and deceased,” he said, adding that Dahiya also took into account statements of 161 prosecution witnesses, Dr Sunil Dohre, who conducted postmortem examination on Aarushi's body, and investigating officer of this case.
