'The Absent are always wrong'. So true in the case of fourteen-year old Aarushi Talwar. Not only did she die a brutal and untimely death, but also had to undergo posthumous character assasination. The media was rife with speculations on her alleged affair with the domestic help of the house, who also incidentally was killed. Her dentist father was booked on charges of 'honour killing'. Later, it was said that her father killed her because she knew that he was having an illegitimate relationship with one of their family friends. The 'so-called friend' came on television and totally denied the allegation. Then it was said that Dr. Talwar killed his fourteen-year old daughter because he caught her in 'an objectionable position' with the middle-aged domestic help, Hemraj, who was also killed. And all this was happening while Aarushi's mother was also in the same house. The mother showed no sign of remorse while she spoke of her daughter's loss, citing it time and again, that her husband was innocent and that he was framed. Meanwhile, the late Hemraj's friend claims that Hemraj often mentioned that he was receiving threats from someone. The Noida police, known for its corrupt image are in a fix now as the case has become one of public concern, with people on the streets observing candlelight vigils, demanding justice. No one knows what the truth is, but whatever it is, it definitely is going to be a gory one, what with the latest postmortem reports claiming vaginal discharge. Whoever did it....he/she was definitely someone whom Aarushi trusted with closed eyes. And for once, lets stop maligning her image in her absence.
