Two bodies are found. You can&#8217;t identify and execute the culprit? It is a failure and definitely a big setback,&#8217; D.R. Kaarthikeyan, the former director of CBI, told in an interview.<\/p>\n<p>He said the CBI started its investigation into the case late and that might have given enough time to the culprits to tamper with evidence. &#8216;The crime scene was cleaned up before the police arrived. Most evidence was tampered.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Asked if the CBI should have taken more time to probe the case, Kaarthikeyan, who was also head of Special Investigation Team that probed Rajiv Gandhi&#8217;s assassination, said: &#8216;There is no point in continuing the probe when you are not sure of finding anything.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Teenager Aarushi Talwar, 14, was found murdered under mysterious circumstances at her Noida home on the outsirts of Delhi May 16, 2008. The body of their domestic help, 45-year-old Yama Prasad Banjade alias Hemraj, initially named a suspect, was found a day later on flat&#8217;s terrace.<\/p>\n<p>After two-and-a-half years of investigation, the CBI filed a closure report Dec 29, 2010 saying it could not find enough evidence to nail any suspect. A special court is hearing the case and the matter comes up for hearing again Jan 21.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I can understand the CBI&#8217;s compulsion. They have said that the evidence was tampered. If you don&#8217;t have enough evidence, what can you do?&#8217; asked Kaarthikeyan.<\/p>\n<p>The apex investigation agency cited tampering of evidence as a major hurdle in identifying the culprit. Intriguingly, Aarushi&#8217;s vaginal swab was also swapped. It was discovered that the swab sent for tests was not hers.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, a golf stick, suspected to be used for the murder, was found cleaned up.<\/p>\n<p>The CBI has said that Aarushi&#8217;s parents Rajesh and Nupur Talwar remained prime suspects. They, in turn, accused the investigative agency of cover-up and threatened to file a defamation case.<\/p>\n<p>But Kaarthikeyan, also a former director general of the National Human Rights Commission, said defamation case against the CBI does not make any sense.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The CBI is investigating so many cases. They can&#8217;t necessarily reach a final conclusion in each case. For these things you can&#8217;t charge the CBI for defamation.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>On political pressure on CBI, Kaarthikeyan said: &#8216;It&#8217;s a government department. It has to work under that.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>But he emphasised that there would not have been be any political motive in closing investigation in the Arushi murder case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) decision to close the probe in the Arushi Talwar murder case is both a &#8216;failure&#8217; and &#8216;big setback&#8217; for the country&#8217;s premier probe agency and may damage its image, says its former chief. &#8216;The murder has been committed.
