The court will pronounce its verdict on Rajesh and Nupur Talwar’s plea challenging their conviction by a CBI court for the murder of their daughter and domestic help in 2008
The Allahabad High Court will on Thursday deliver its verdict on an appeal filed by Rajesh and Nupur Talwar challenging a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court order convicting them for the murder of their daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj in 2008.
A special CBI court in Ghaziabad had convicted the couple in the case on November 26, 2013, and awarded them life sentence the next day.
While the high court is likely to decide the fate of the Talwars in this high-profile case today, we look at the timeline of events in the Aarushi Talwar double Aarushi Murder Case since 2008 leading up to now:
