Talwar's whereabouts not known; contempt petition in court

Noida, May 28 (PTI) The accused in the Noida twin murder case Rajesh Talwar, remanded to police custody, is believed to be moved to an undisclosed location prompting his lawyers to file a contempt petition against police claiming they were not kept in the loop despite a court direction. Police sources said Talwar, the dentist who allegedly murdered his daughter Arushi and family help Hemraj, was taken to a rural locality adjoining Noida by investigators after a court granted them his custody for three days.
The investigators took Talwar from Dasna Jail, where he was remanded to judicial custody following his arrest Friday, to an "undisclosed" location to "intensely" interrogate him, they said. Police is trying to piece together the sequence of events that led to the murder and other evidences, they said.
Talwar's lawyers claimed that attempts to reach Senior Superintendent of Police (Noida) A Satish Ganesh and other senior officials provided futile and they were unaware of their client's whereabouts. The lawyers had filed a contempt petition at the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate A K Singh at around noon, alleging that they were not informed about his whereabouts and was taken to an undisclosed location.
In the petition, the lawyers claimed that Noida Police has not adhered to a court direction that a lawyer can be present during the interrogation of Talwar. The judge has fixed the date of hearing on May 30.
SSP Ganesh could not be reached for comments.
