Arushi Murder Case!

Needless to say it is definately one of the most complex and gruesome murder cases that one has read in the papers in recent times-The Arushi Murder case needs no introduction and it remains unsolved.
Due to lack of evidence, the CBI has decided to close the case. However, the parents of the victim wanted to keep the case open. And now the Law minister M.Veerappa Moily has met the CBI director and discussed the possibility of reopening the case.

Now the irony is- the parents, actually her father, Mr. Rajesh Talwar who wants the case to be opened is the prime suspect! There is no one else that could be linked to this murder. However any man with a little bit of sanity and sensibility would realise that there could be no possible motive for a father to kill his only daughter and that too, in such a gruesome manner. But someone killed her. And CBI claims that all the evidence points at Mr.Talwar and that "technically" he is the only person who could have murdered her. But then, there is no motive!


Even if one were to re-open the case, could they possibly find new suspects now?  The law minister has insisted that CBI has carried out its duties and investigations well. So if the case were to re-open, could the CBI do anything which it hasn't done already?
But there is crucial evidence which has been overlooked in Arushi Murder case. No, it would be wrong to say that it has been overlooked. The media has got to know about it now. But all the evidence that CBI has gathered cannot help find the killer ...and why? Because there is "no motive"!

My contention is- the likelihood that Mr.Talwar killed his own daughter in such a gruesome manner is hard to digest (though there is a saying that reality is stranger than fiction). But destroying evidence in itself is a crime. There is evidence that Mr.Talwar tried to influence initial investigation. Why would an innocent father want to influence or stand in the way of a proper investigation? An attempt to hide and cover up any facts or evidence is in itself a crime!

I wish Arushi gets justice...
