Noida double murder: Krishna sent to CBI custody

Ghaziabad (UP), June 14 (PTI) Krishna, who was arrested for his alleged involvement in the Aarushi-Hemraj double murder case, was today remanded to three days of CBI custody as the probe agency seized "some apparel" from his home. Krishna, who was working as compounder with Dr Rajesh Talwar, prime accused and father of Aarushi, was produced in the jam-packed court of Additional Civil Judge Deep Kant Mani, who sent him to three days of CBI custody after 15 minute-long argument between prosecution and defence counsel.
Krishna was placed under arrest after the reports of the scientific tests, including brain-mapping and Narco-analysis, were received by the CBI. Dressed in grey T-shirt and jeans, a pale-looking Krishna broke down when his sister -- Parvati -- hugged him as a battery of media persons tried to catch the moment. CBI Counsel R K Saini contended before the court that Krishna's custodial interrogation was necessary for ensuring some more arrests.
But the judge remanded him to only three days of custody so that he could be produced before the designated CBI court of Sapna Mishra on June 17 evening. While pleading for a 14 days CBI custody of Krishna, Saini said the agency was yet to recover the weapon used in the gruesome double murder of teenager Aarushi and Hemraj.
CBI began its day with carrying out searches at the roof-top water tanks of Talwar's and neighbouring houses. His friend -- Durrani's -- were also searched and their domestic help -- Rajkumar was also questioned.
