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.

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

Tukaram Ombale's daughter has become a traffic cop.
This makes one remember the bravest of the brave cop, today.
Omble, a retired army personnel, had entered the Mumbai police as an ASI.
He was killed during 26/11 Mumbai attacks last year while fighting terrorists at Girgaum Chowpatty.
Omble's team was under-equipped for the attack, but managed to kill one terrorist and arrest the only terrorist taken alive.
Unarmed, Omble held onto the gun of injured terrorist Ajmal Kasab, enabling other officers to arrest him. In the process, Ajmal fired several shots, killing Omble.
He was honoured with the Ashoka Chakra on 26 January this year.
Rag to riches Madhu Koda was Jharkhand Chief Minister for 708 days, he made over 4000 cr in this period.
Now, work out the math and you get his per day earnings.
Also, Koda was independent MLA supported by Congress.
Congress leaders (sic) must have got a cut of the booty, hence his government survived.
Koda got caught because he perhaps wasn't clever enough to hide his money trail.
The clever ones know how to hide their millions.

Think of Ishrat’s family - isolated and socially ostracized for a crime the 18-year-old college girl may or may not have committed!
It is tragic. Worse, it is criminal!!
In any case, she committed no crime. She was killed by the police on the suspicion that she may commit a crime. Amazing!!!
C'mmon. Speak up.
