Second servant arrested in Aarushi case

New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday arrested Raj Kumar, the servant of a doctor friend of dentist Rajesh Talwar, who has been jailed for the alleged murder of his teenaged daughter Aarushi Talwar and her family's domestic help.

Raj Kumar, who worked for Anita Durani, also a dentist, was arrested after the CBI recovered a blood-stained T-shirt from the room he lived in.

This is the third arrest in the case, which continues to hog the headlines and choke the airwaves a month-and-half after the sensational double murders in the upscale Jal Vayu Vihar neighbourhood in suburban Noida.

"Raj Kumar was detained for interrogation but he was arrested after forensic examination confirmed that the T-shirt had blood stains of human origin," CBI joint director Arun Kumar said.

These stains will now be matched with those picked up from the crime scene earlier to see whether they match with any of the victims.

Sent to jail

Meanwhile, Krishna, a medical assistant of Rajesh Talwar, was sent to jail till July 11. He was produced before a special CBI court in Ghaziabad after his six-day remand ended.

On Friday, a CBI team led by Arun Kumar went to the Talwar's residence with Krishna in an attempt to recreate the sequence of events on the night of the murder.

Aarushi, 14, was found dead in her apartment May 16. The Noida police initially named missing domestic help Hemraj as the prime suspect and even sent out teams to trace him out but had to eat humble pie after his body was found on the terrace of the house the next day.
