New Delhi: Krishna, who worked for murdered Noida teenager Aarushi Talwar's dentist father Rajesh Talwar and who has now been arrested for the crime, was on Tuesday remanded in six days' Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) custody.
The CBI had sought Krishna's custody for 11 days, saying he was not cooperating with the agency and that it needed to recover the weapon used in murders of Aarushi and her family's domestic help Hemraj.
This apart, the CBI argued before a special court in neighbouring Ghaziabad that it was yet to recover Aarushi's missing cell phone and the blood-stained clothes of the victims - and also needed to interrogate Krishna to discover who the other accomplices to the crime were.
The CBI will now produce Krishna before the court on Monday. The CBI joint director Arun Kumar said: "We have recorded Krishna's statement under section 161 [of the Criminal Procedure Code]."
This statement, however, is not admissible in court as only that made before a magistrate under section 164 of the code can be admitted as evidence.
Aarushi, 14, was found dead in her upscale Jal Vayu Vihar apartment on May 16.
