| Nupur Talwar to be jailed after court refuses request for bail in Aarushi murder case

| Nupur Talwar, accused with her husband Rajesh of the murders of their only child, Aarushi, and their domestic help, will be sent to the Dasna jail. Mrs Talwar was refused bail this afternoon by a court in Ghaziabad where the Talwars are to be tried for murder, criminal conspiracy and destruction of evidence. Officials at the Dasna Jail say she will be kept tonight at Barrack No 13, which is reserved for women prisoners. Her lawyers will apply for bail in a higher court.
Mrs Talwar arrived in the special CBI court in Ghaziabad this morning with her husband on the orders of the Supreme Court. She was heard reciting lines from the Hanuman Chalisa. The judge had issued a non-bailable warrant for Mrs Talwar last week after she did not show up in person so that her trial could begin. The Talwars asked the Supreme Court to cancel this warrant; the judges refused and asked her to appear in the Ghaziabad court today.
Her lawyers applied for bail on the grounds that she is a woman, and is therefore entitled to leniency. They also pointed out that Rajesh has already been granted bail and so Nupur should be treated at par. But the CBI opposed Mrs Talwar's bail, describing the crime that she is accused of as "heinous."
The Talwars had filed two appeals in the Supreme Court recently: they had asked for the warrant against Mrs Talwar to be suspended, and they want the Supreme Court to over-rule the Ghaziabad court which ordered that they must be tried for murder. The Supreme Court rejected the former appeal; the latter will be heard on Friday.
In 2008, the Talwars' daughter, 13-year-old Aarushi, was found with her throat slit in her bedroom at their apartment in the Delhi suburb of Noida. Initially, the family's domestic help, Hemraj, who lived with them, was considered the main suspect because he was missing. But hours later, his corpse was found on the Talwars' terrace. The Noida Police was attacked for a seriously mishandled investigation.
