Aarushi's mom backs 'killer' dad

Aarushi Talwar would have turned 15 on Saturday and celebrated the day with her parents. But she is dead, her father is in jail and her mother was at a news channel's studio defending him.
The father - high-profile dentist Rajesh Talwar - stands accused by Noida police of murdering his daughter and domestic help Hemraj on the night of May 15. The police say Talwar was having an extramarital affair with fellow dentist Anita Durani.
Aarushi was upset when she found out, and came close to Hemraj while discussing it with him. The police theory continues: Talwar returned home May 15 night to find his daughter and Hemraj in an "objectionable, but not compromising position" and killed both.
Aarushi's mother, Nupur Talwar, also a dentist, told a news channel that Talwar loved his daughter too much to kill her. "Do you think a mother would protect a husband who killed her daughter? She would be an animal, not a human being," she said.
Nupur added that Talwar was sleeping next to her when the murders took place. She alleged the killer was "still out there somewhere".
The Duranis, she said, were like "extended family." Durani, too, said at a press conference on Saturday, with her husband by her side, that the two families were "like an extended family".
She said there was nothing between her and Talwar. A bail application filed on Talwar's behalf by his lawyer Mahender Pratap Singh in a Noida court said: "Talwar was implicated in a false case on the basis of false and concocted statements.
" The Noida police maintained a studied silence on these allegations. They didn't even show up in the court to seek custody of the man they are accusing of murdering his daughter.
Additional DG of police Brijlal of the UP Special Task Force, refused to comment when contacted. The Noida police unit has gone completely underground.
