The Supreme Court will hear the bail petition filed by the accused in Aarushi-Hemraj twin murder case. The dentist couple, Rajesh Talwar and Nupur Talwar approached the apex court recently to get released on bail. It may be noted that CBI has been investigating this case and filed charge sheet against the duo for allegedly murdering their teenage daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj in May 2008.

The Delhi police, who joined the CBI probe, have ascertained that the murder was committed either by a doctor or a butcher. In 2011, the CBI has named Talwars as accused in the case. Ghaziabad Court, which tried the case has charged Talwars with murder, destruction of evidence and conspiracy.
