Aarushi case witness alleges evidence tampering

A witness and colleague of dentist Rajesh Talwar on Tuesday told the special CBI court, trying the Aarushi-Hemraj murder case, that the footprints on stairs leading to the terrace of L-32 apartment were of “red colour and seemed to have been wiped off”.

Rohit Kocchar, a colleague of Talwars and a fellow dental surgeon, on Tuesday appeared before the court as a new CBI witness.

Kocchar is the eighth witness produced in the court and five more witnesses have to be examined as per the order of the Supreme Court in the case and for consideration of bail for Nupur Talwar, the accused mother of Aarushi Talwar.

The witness Kocchar said that when he reached Talwars’ house at L-32, Jalviyu Vihar with his wife Preeti  Kocchar on May 16, 2008, there was a huge crowd in the house.
