Who killed Aarushi Talwar and her family's domestic help Hemraj?

This twin-murder case is hitting too many dead ends.

Will the truth ever be known?

Isn't it one of India's biggest unsolved mysteries?

Did the investigating agency CBI commit mistakes or there is a cover-up?

Think, Discuss, Share. And Please Do It In Public.

LOOK WHAT THEY SAY -

■ Vir Sanghvi: In any other country, the cops who screwed up the Aarushi case would be in jail. In India, they get promotions and transfers.

■ Barkha Dutt: Will Aarushi Talwar's murder ever be solved. I dont think so. Strange that the phone should turn up after a year suddenly, just like that.

■ Times of India, 15.9.2009: Headway at last: Aarushi's cellphone found in UP town.

■ Vincent Van Ross: The one thing that this case has done is to create a detective in every drawing room. If it is not Dr. Talwar and if it is also not Krishna, Vijay Mandal or Raj Kumar, who is it? Who killed Aarushi and Hemraj — Ghosts?

■ Indian Express, 4.11.2009: Rajkumar fears for life, requests security.

Exiled Tibetan leader the Dalai Lama is amazing. He is a nomad. US President Barack Obama will not meet him, Indians are wary of him, Chinese hate him. Yet he always smiles!

Meanwhile, after attacking India for permitting the Dalai Lama to tour Arunachal, Beijing now attacks the Tibetan leader for hurting Sino-Indian ties!

And as he prepared to visit Arunachal Pradesh, China's official media Friday launched another attack on the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama, calling him a "lair" accusing him of aiming to split China and disrupt the development of Tibet.

Criticising as "nonsense," the Dalai Lama's reported statement that "there exists fear in Tibet," the People's Daily, the mouthpiece of the ruling Communist Party, said it only showed that the Tibetan "spiritual" leader was pursuing a hidden agenda to split China.

"This nonsense only reveals the hollowness and self-deceiving gimmicks deep inside the lama's heart. As an economically thriving Tibet had drawn increasing attention from the world, the Dalai Lama could only see his hidden scheme to disrupt China's unity gradually falling apart," it said.

The Dalai Lama, currently in Japan, is scheduled to visit Tawang monastery in Arunachal Pradesh on November 8 on what he has said is a spiritual, and not political, trip.

"There exists fear in Tibet", the nonsense shows the Dalai Lama is still telling lies. The Dalai Lama hates to see a unified and harmonious new Tibet. During the past 50 years, great changes have taken place in Tibet, and people are now enjoying rising amenities," it said.

RAHUL GANDHI: WE ARE GIVING TOO MUCH IMPORTANCE TO PAKISTAN

Vir Sanghvi: Rahul is right. India is too big to be obsessed with Pakistan. We should move on from this stale subject. The only reason Pakistan is relevant is because it exports terror. Finish the terror and you finish Pakistan's relevance

Vikram Sood: Pakistan's relevance has always been its delinquency helped by US indulgence

Issues First: We'd love, like Rahul, to treat Pakistan as a minor nuisance. But with fanatics miles away from Amritsar, can we?

PM: We are worried about conditions in our neighbours including Afghanistan and Pakistan
