Oct 16: Dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwarwalked out of the jail today after being cleared by the Allahabad High Court in the murder case of their daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj and will be provided with security.

Though the High Court had acquitted the Talwars on October 12, they had to stay back in prison as a certified copy of the order had not reached the jail before the weekend. The CBI court in Ghaziabad, which had convicted the Talwars in November 2013, is expected to issue their release order on Monday. Security outside the jail entrance is being strengthened.

Nupur Talwar's parents were there to receive them from the prison. Their first stop is likely to be a Sai temple in Noida, after which they will go to the home of Nupur Talwar's parents. They had shifted from their own apartment in which there daughter, Arushi was murdered.

The Talwars' release was delayed because a copy of that verdict had not been delivered to prison officials last week. A signed copy was received by their lawyers on the weekend. Officials say it will be submitted to a special CBI court in Ghaziabad, which will then issue an order to Dasna prison, where the Talwars have spent the last four years.

On Sunday, inmates rushed to the hospital clinic to get their dental problems fixed, as they knew that the Talwars would be released on Monday.

Rajesh and Nupur Talwar are likely to go to Nupur's father's home in Noida's Jalvayu Vihar, the complex they lived in when their daughter Aarushi was murdered, after their release from Dasna jail today. Aarushi and the Talwars' domestic help Hemraj were found dead at their home in L-32, Jalvayu Vihar, in May 2008. The house has now been rented out.

Vokkaligara Sangha threatens Congress: ‘Shivakumar must be CM or face backlash’

News Network

November 27,2025

Bengaluru: The Vokkaligara Sangha on Thursday issued a stern warning to the Congress, saying the party could face serious electoral repercussions if Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar is not appointed as Chief Minister.

The warning follows the public backing of Shivakumar’s chief ministerial ambition by top Vokkaliga pontiff Nirmalanandanatha Swami, who urged the Congress high command to honor his claim.

“The community supported Congress in the 2023 Assembly elections only because Shivakumar had a real chance to become CM. If he is cheated, we’ll teach the party a big lesson,” said newly elected Sangha president L. Srinivas. He added that Vokkaligas would organize protests under the guidance of community leaders.

General Secretary C.G. Gangadhar pointed out that Congress won more seats in the Vokkaliga-dominated Old Mysuru region due to Shivakumar’s influence, adding, “If Congress wants to retain power, Shivakumar should be made the CM.”

Outgoing president Kenchappa Gowda emphasized Shivakumar’s contribution to Congress’ victory. “Our community voted for Congress thinking he would become CM. Siddaramaiah has also served the party well, but Shivakumar should now be given a chance,” he said.

Former general-secretary Konappa Reddy appealed to Sonia and Rahul Gandhi to recognize Shivakumar’s loyalty and service, saying, “Congress is known to keep its promises. We hope it won’t break the promise made to him.”
