Dad offering to bribe the police to search the streets instead of letting them on the terrace was the single biggest reg flag to me.

The fact that the parents right away said Hemraj did it , asked the maid to clean the rooms while the police is still there and stopped the police from going to the terrace says so many things. The crime scene was contaminated too.

My heart breaks that Hemraj was vilified as the killer, only to find out that he most likely died defending her. Tragically for both victims, this case cannot ever be definitively solved due to the state of the crime scene.

Things that really stand out for me and make me believe that the parents are the ones that committed the murders: 1. Blaming Hemraj from the get go, without any evidence. 2. Destroying and tampering with the evidence by allowing media and other people inside and having the crime scene cleaned up 3. Bribing the police 4. Asking to keep the mention of rape out of the autopsy report. 5. Cleaning her vagina 6. Saying they don’t want to throw any allegations on anyone and then saying it’s possible that it could be the help when they’ve already got alibis.

Why is it only speculated that the father caught his daughter in a compromising position? Why was it never considered that Hemraj caught Rajesh abusing his daughter? His wife said he felt fatherly towards Arushi. The boyfriend said she had been having problems with her father. If something had been going on, low-key, and that night it escalated, he, Hemraj, might have felt he needed to step in. Which led to his murder, and then Arushi‘s, in order to prevent her from spilling the beans, about the abuse and subsequent murder. That to me seems the most likely.

So the dad killed the girl and the hired help. And he's wealthy and powerful, so couldn't be touched. Not much of a mystery there.

I remember this case being all over the news. When Hemraj's body was discovered in the same building, who had already been reported the prime suspect, even not knowing much about how these things work, I was shocked that the whole building hadn't been searched at the very first. The investigation of this case was so thoroughly ruined, it's a shame.

Money talked parents walked! This is beyond disgusting, disturbing, and heartbreaking.

It’s absolutely ridiculous that in 2008 a police investigation should go that bad. That entire city should be ashamed of their police department and the press for bursting into the scene. I hope there were some serious changes in policy after this. With the dna advances at that time this should have been a solved case. The terrace being locked and not investigated was outrageous. I’m so mad they were so brutally murdered in such a sloppily way and still did not get any justice. Boy they just arrest people without any evidence. Plus giving people a truth serum. I’m so mad. It’s like ok it was the parents. Wait no. Ok maybe. No not them. Ok yes it must have been. Well…

"oh hey our daughter was murdered but you can all come and contaminate the crime scene, don't break any doors to find the murderer or the weapon." They are diabolical. And they waited for the maid to see their dead daughter?

i feel so bad for hemraj. just an honest man trying to support his family and he was killed bc of this disgusting family. also interesting she was found with a bag covering her face. in psychology, they say if a killer covers his/her victims face its because they subconsciously feel regret or guilt. definitely the father who did it.

The parents are pathetic. "We don't want to blame anyone". No tears, nothing. That dame has her arms crossed, talking about how they cry at night. Two people's throats slit, and they "have nothing". Ya'll really know how to tell a story, thank you so much. Rest in Peace, Arushi.

The parents absolutely did it. No question. They lock her in her room, they don't even seemed phased by the police botching the case, they INTENTIONALLY had evidence cleaned! What innocent parents do that??

Parents definitely did it. They are doctors and should have known better. After the murders they allowed the scene to be contaminated by many people. I think this was intentional. They wanted the evidence to be destroyed. I also believe the father was abusing his daughter and the helper must have heard her scream and come to her defense.

This case really bothered me. I was so surprised when this case was all over the news where the media was portraying arushi's character as bad and having sexual relationship with hemraj. I didn't believe it then and won't believe it now. We may never know what happened that night. Everything is messed up. RIP beautiful girl

The father was SA his daughter. Probably doing so for years. Went to do so that night, got caught out by the poor housekeeper, Hemraj. Out of panic, killed him with the first thing in sight, the bottle. Then finished off his own daughter as she was a witness. The wife was in on it, cleaned up the crime scene and their daughters body. Both of them dragged Hemraj’s body up to the terrace and both work together to cover up themselves. They would rather kill and cover up than expose themselves and ruin their reputations since they were well known doctors in the community. They knew that inviting many into the crime scene will botch the investigation. Absolutely sickening. All that effort to have a child and they do this to her and their housekeeper. Sickening

That aunt seemed more worried about the injustice towards the parents than the injustice towards Aarushi and Hemraj, the real victims.

I was born and raised in India and now live in the USA. I remember this case being HUGE back when I was growing up. It is still such a mystery. Thank you for doing an AMAZING job with this. We all pray that Arushi gets the justice that she deserves. There’s even a Bollywood movie made on this movie called ‘Talvar’.

I’ve watched pretty much all your content, and I must say, this is probably the best video you’ve made. Love the effort and research you put into your work

The contradictory part here is that the parents never called the police a neighbor asked the security of the gated community to call the police and by that time all evidence was contaminated or destroyed. When the police arrived on the crime scene there were 12-15 people in the house. Even the forensic policeman collecting evidence said most of the fingerprints had been smudged comprised. Rajesh Pointing to hemraj as the murderer was justified as he was missing.

Everyone in India knows that the Dad did it, and the Mom helped cover it up, but unfortunately it cannot be proved. Its just sad. I really hope her soul is at peace. Om Shanti

This case for me has always equated to the Jon Benet Ramsey case. A child dead, in a house with limited people at the time and in both cases the crime scene was tampered with, rooms/terrace in this case were locked/not allowed access to. Both cases educated and well placed parents invited support who in turn formed early conclusions and helped knowingly or unknowingly with the contamination and clean up of the scene. It's sad this case will like the Job Benet one, may never see the light of justice.

This was definitely NO WICH HUNT, the evidence was 100% compromised with the 100% help from the parents, and any evidence left ONLY points to dad NO ONE ELSE. Mom 100% covered for dad. They deserve to be locked up for life and I pray they NEVER rest and that what they did haunts them for the rest of their lives, may they NOT find joy or pleasure or rest. Absolutely disgusting.

I have been following Arushi - Hemraj murder case from day 1 and from what I have observed and understood so far the parents are the culprits. They may perhaps escape the human legal system due to a lack of so-called evidence, which was undoubtedly botched up. But they would never escape God's judgment, it comes late though.

I honestly feel the parents or one parent has something to do with both deaths. Hamraj (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) was killed for trying to protect the daughter. I think he walked in on her being attacked or he knew something going on in the home and felt the need to protect her but was killed in the process. And with this family's status in the community I'm sure they can cover up what really happened.

Good grief! How badly the police botched this is beyond comprehension. Zero justice in this case.

My relatives lives in the same society and I remember how she told me while we were talking a walk that this is the house of Arushi. And at that time all those memories of what media told us about Arushi came back . Even if Parents are not the murderers they have played a major role in destroying the evidence . As doctors themselves they had better known that this is a murder scene which is not supposed to be tampered with anything.

What a story. And again I’d like to thank your amazing channel for bringing such a case to our attention. Amazing work guys ❤️

I remember this case, especially because I was the same age as Arushi when it happened. I remember my parents and relatives talking about the case at family dinners and outings. I recall thinking how one is not safe even in one’s own house. What a beautiful girl Arushi was, may her soul rest in peace 💐

The father did so much suspicious acts: 1.) redirecting investigations away from where the decomposing body of male house keeper was, 2.) asking someone to lie about SA in the coroner’s report. He can’t escape the consequences of the truth forever that’s for sure!

I just really found this channel and now I’m obsessed. I don’t know if I should thank you or to cry. Lol. Great job!!!

The body language in the interview with the parents says it all. Especially the mom leaning farther and farther away from the dad. The crossed arms. All defensiveness.

I remember that I joined Facebook to know more about this case. It was so mysterious and still is. I believe this would go unsolved and the only person who would know the full truth would be those who committed this crime. Rip to Hemraj though. His death is nothing but a foot note in this grand family media court drama focusing on the talvers.

Drug a suspect and then slap them silly when they are subsequently unfit to he interviews, really professional. It’s a really shame this case wasn’t handed in a more professional matter, this is not justice for a sweet young girl.

I hope I'm never accused of a crime in India. I've never seen police, medical investigators, etc. like that. It was like they were pretending to be cops. What kind of press conference was that?

Loving your content. Very well researched and put together documentary and I subscribed and gave a thumbs up

Here's my thought. The parents had an inkling about her boyfriend and didn't want her to chat with him. Hence, they wanted to turn off the wifi router. And Aarushi turned it back on and started chatting , when her dad came to know about this he started hitting her in rage only to be intervened by Hemraj. This angered Rajesh Talwar and in a fit of rage killed Hemraj in front of Arushi. Fearing she will spill the beans, he killed her too to save his image in society. Then dragged out Hemraj's body and his wife played the role of an accomplice and opened the terrace door while Rajesh was dragging the domestic help's body. Dumped his body upstairs and locked the terrace door. Came back to their apartment and Rajesh went and started to drink whiskey, while his wife placed those toys on the mattress and lowered her daughter's pants exposing her rear to make it look like she was sexually assaulted by Hemraj. Then both of them cleaned the house removing their fingerprints. In the morning when the maid arrived, Rajesh calls the maid to Aarushi's room and showing her tells," look what he has done to her". Who on earth does that? He just wanted to pin the blame on Hemraj and have people believe that he did it, so maid will spread the rumour to people. The verdict is the dad killed them both, the mother an accomplice who covered it up.

I’d never heard of this case but with your narration, I was hooked. Thank you for taking the time to cover cases outside the Uk& USA. ( love it) Only 4 people in a very small apartment 2 murdered so violently , 2 survived and didt hear a thing🙄yes the police did an awful job protecting evidence …. But the Parents did it and now they are free😡 No justice here!!

I absolutely LOVE this channel. Your videos are always top-notch every single time. Hands down you are one of the BEST true crime channels out there!!! Thank you for bringing us different cases from around the world. I wish more true crime channels would do this. Anyway, very well done and you are always so caring and professional. Thanks for all the work you put into these videos.

that hand print on the roof wall could have d been the turning point

Thank you for shedding light on this case. The father stopping the search of the terrace with a clear bribe to Police throws up enough red flags. Shame that the evidence was tampered so that justice cannot be properly served. May they rest in peace

I have always wondered about this case and still do. Please cover the case of Ayesha Meera, a girl from Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh who was brutally murdered in the girls hostel with at least 100 people in the same hostel but had not been solved conclusively.

Can someone confirm if I heard this right or not please So I thought I heard them say that the dad announced “look what hemrage did!” After he found his daughters body And later in an interview did the parents say they didn’t consider hemrage the suspect until the police said so? I think I misheard the interview lol

It's really scary to know that there is still a person out there who knows he killed them both and exactly what happened that night. While all the fingers/proofs point to the parents, the questions are yet unanswered. I pray whether out of guilty conscience or whatever reason, that murderer comes out and accepts what he did to these two innocent souls. RIP Arushi and Hemraj.

Everyone here in India knows the parents did it May Aarushi and Hemraj's soul rest in peace

What an incredible video. You guys really are the cream of this genre. It’s so professionally put together and impeccably narrated. I so wish I could work on these videos with you!!! You are sheer class ❤️

💯 the Dad is the main culprit for both murders. Can’t believe all evidence was tampered and contaminated with! Why were the police so careless? 🤷🏻‍♀️ The parents interview was simply one of the most cold blooded and calculated without showing any emotions. How can such parents that fully know their child has been brutally murdered sit there and speak like as if she didn’t matter much to them! Shocking! Totally shocking!!

Police not opening the terrace door is a big blunder. Something fishy about the parents. Poor girl😢

I could have done a better job than these clowns at figuring out who did it. I hope they feel some deep shame at their screw ups. Good video, thanks for this

Oh my, a case from my home country. I was only 15 when this happened, thank you for covering this case, much appreciated 🙏

Thank you for this coverage. I feel like I would not have heard of it otherwise, and this story so deserves telling. Thank you.

I did not watch the whole episode but am aware of what I had read in newspapers/ watched on TV those days. Many questions remain unanswered. 1. Arushi and Hemraj's throats were slit by a surgically trained person and in both cases, the jugular veins were cut. Only a doctor would know how to cut the jugular vein. Initially, Hemraj and other male house help were blamed for the murder. House helps do not have to be 'surgically trained' to chop veggies! 2. As doctors why did the parents not preserve the victim's viscera? They did know that the viscera report would have nailed the culprit. 3. Why the hush-hush cremation the next morning and immediate ash imersion without informing the police, family, and friends? 4. Who cleaned up the victim's private parts? Except for the parents, there was no third person in the house. Why did they clean her up? As doctors, the parents knew how to get rid of evidence to protect the murderer. The parents ensured to clean up all evidence ASAP including cremation. 5. None bothered to check the incest angle. 6. While the investigation was going on (TV), the mother did not break down even once. How is that possible? The daughter was born 10 years after marriage (according to newspapers) and was the only child? I am aware that some women can be tough but how can one not feel for an only child who was born after 10 years of marriage? Personally, I find it strange. 7. The mother did break down finally when she was sentenced with her husband. She broke down again while she was being interviewed inside the jail. I find it bizarre. A woman who did not cry when her only teen daughter is brutally murdered cried because she was convicted. 8. Do not recollect any boyfriend angle in the case. 9. The flat is not so huge that while two murders were being committed, one body was dragged to the terrace after opening the locked gate, and the parents continued to sleep soundly? Find it difficult to digest. 10. I often think about the kid and pray she gets justice and the murderers are caught and put behind for life. You cannot kill a kid full of life and forget about it. 11. Why are the parents not pursuing the case and seeking justice for the brutal murder of their only child? Heartless parents!

Sad her mother went through a bunch of ivf treatments to conceive her daughter only to allow her to be killed by her father later in life. Makes no sense.

This is a case study on how badly the cops, media and corruption could botch a case. This case was so widely covered on the media when it has just happened, as if this was a reality show. The smallest detail would become breaking news. Very well covered, this gives better closure to a lot of us who did not know the other details the media did not reveal.

Horrible how uncontrolled the crime scene was, but touching to see how fiercely the community rallied for justice for Aarushi.

Amazing work and research youve put in this video!

Like another comment below says, I believe the father was drunk on his whiskey and was compromising his daughter when Hemraj discovered them. Hemraj looked upon the daughter as his own daughter and may have came to her rescue inturn being killed by the father and dragged up to the terrace where he was dumped and the door remained locked. The evidence of blood trail proves he was moved up there. Also the daughter's boyfriend claimed she was having difficulty with her father leading up to this. I definitely think he was the killer and in his drunken panic chose to slay his daughter aswell so as to keep her quiet and not have his reputation tarnished. The mother too helped cover it all up

Great video. But this is so convoluted that I had to press pause and go on Wikipedia for a few minutes just to understand and differentiate between all those names. By the end ,I was 100% convinced that it was the dad who killed them,his wife helped covered it up ,and he also probably SA his daughter and the servant was a witness to this and he had to go too. Tragic

Watching from the United States, crazy how different each country handles murder cases. I like that this channel has a wide range of different stories from around the world also

Wow! You covered this like a rock star! Was on the edge of my seat the whole time! So much incompetance on the part of the police. Thanks for covering this.

Thank you for professional coverage of these cases. No drama, no out of taste jokes just retelling of the story and known facts.

Drugging people up and interrogating them to me doesn't seem to be fruitful especially after they all previously had knowledge of the details just a thought but i will say this was a very well done episode and this is definitely one of my favorite channels

The parents claiming it was the police covering up poor handling of the case... While literally bribing police, and cleaning and contaminating the crime scene at the same time.... Who would believe that?

Thank you so much for such a thorough and great documentary!

I've watched too much true crime on YT.... only just came across this channel but the depth you go into and clarity is top notch 👍 well done peeps

The only words that keep running through my mind is “what a mess”! I hope the police learned a lesson. Unfortunately for the victims.

This clearly shows how inefficient is Indian police service.

I remember this news I don't know why is this still a mystery when anyone can say what really happened. Years later I still say that the father has something to do with the murder and Hemraj was a witness so he had to be silenced. I read many articles and few of them did mention that she and her father didn't see eye to eye and the day of her death her parents had few drinks before going to bed. It is really heartbreaking.

This is absolutely your best video yet. Brilliant work, thanks so much x

One of the best deep dive videos into this case I have ever seen Bravo! This is becoming my favorite KZfaq true crime channel and we know there's like 50 other good ones

Incredible video, looks like the video about the Talwar case was made more professionally than the actual investigation about the case.

This is one of the most depressing cases i have ever watched!!No justice for those two,such a shame

Thank you so much for covering this case! You're the only crime reporter channel that covers a vast array of diverse cases! Thank you so much!

The quality of content provided is always superb! Very informative, respectful to everyone involved, and not overly dramatized. I get very excited when you post, thank you for your excellent work!

This was a great video. The media circus and the lack of proper investigation are the main reason why this case is so much fucked up to its core. Also Indian courts work at snail pace so this case will probably still be on courts until the parents or any other possible culprits are dead. RIP Aarushi and Hemraj.

I was really young when I first saw this on the news. I didn't think even after so many years this case would still be unsolved.

This is your best video yet. The length was perfect...not just a tease...a good in depth documentary. Thank you

This is perhaps the most beautifully told documentary I've ever seen, and I'm a 51 year old guy who's been following media documentaries since my early teens. The case is a total mess, and the makers finished it off so completely by leaving the final words to Aarushi's friend Fisa(?) who so eloquently explained her feelings about the case.

Confusing, frustrating, uncomfortable, but thanks for sharing...

Why luminol was not used i.have seen many episodes of forensic files there they always use luminol spray or light to find out washed out blood strains.... Give a thumps up who agrees...

The interview that the parents did their body language is just really off to me I'm going to go ahead and say I feel that they know exactly what happened to their daughter

I just can’t stop watching your videos! First time the recommended section actually showed me something awesome. Definitely my new favorite ❤️

Dr Nupoor was my doctor as a kid. She worked in a dental clinic at Khan market in Delhi with Dr Metta. Both very good doctors having treated my grand parents, my parents and myself. I remember this case bringing shock to my whole family and me. We believe that Dr Nupoor is innocent. She was too calm and soft spoken. So kind and gentle. Same can't be said about Rajesh as we never associated with him. It's terrible what happened to the family. I hope they find peace and are doing well now

You did an excellent narration of that WEB of a case

finally glad that someone is covering this case. there have been many movie adaptations of this case and everytime i hear about it its just so breathtaking!

Excellent video and storytelling. One of, if not the best true crime channels on youtube today. Well done

One thing I've always felt strange about this incident is that 2ppl from the same house are brutally killed but parents left unharmed. The house isn't even that big for an outsider to not notice there's someone right next to the room they're killing in? Hearing about the bribe and terrace check the first time. Were these two points never brought up in court?

so sad man! what a beautiful young lady she had so much to live for! absolutely sad! 🥺

This was very well done by you and I can see why with all the details you needed to put the extra time in getting it right .

Wow! Thank you TC crew for the hard work that each of you did to create yet another fantastic episode. I was unaware of this case. It's shocking how many people were in & near the crime scene ruining all of that important evidence & how badly the entire investigation was handled. Cringy.

Excellent coverage of this sad and tragic case.

It's so shocking to see the law enforcement and forensic department in India is failing in 2008. The offender is clear and loud yet no evidence hard to consume. Documentary well articulated. Rip young girl.

Absolutely amazing video, great work! So sad that both victims have still not received justice. Hopefully one day this case will be solved.

I find it strange that some people seem to feel that this case is a complete mystery, because to me, without doubt or question, the parents are the only 2 people it could possibly be...all points & logic points right back at the parents. Although, granted, the Indian police seem to be very primitive & incompetent with the way that they investigated but still, the parents seem to be the guilty party.

Excellent presentation of this case.

It is very strange that parents who lost their young daughter from the start were having a defensive posture instead of strongly urging the authorities to find the real culprits. Lack of emotions at the time of the incident indicates their minds were more pre-occupied with how to cover up or answer questions by the police. After seeing their daughter brutally murdered, they were expected to immediately call the police for help considering their own lives could be in danger. As part of medical profession they should been conscious and protested the contamination of the crime scene by media people having opportunity to enter the premises and contaminating the crime scene.

You can understand how wealthy & influential 'Talvars' are by the fact that a Bollywood movie with big names was made to defend them. It's pretty clear the parents are the culprits. PS: Their only daughter was killed and they show no emotion....such poker faced criminals.

You did a really fantastic job covering this case, as always. This was so very frustrating to hear… hopefully one day justice will be served.

This case was super confusing to follow. Love your vids!

What I can't understand is the wife's role in this. If the father killed both why would she defend him? More so, if the father was abusing their own and only daughter! May God bless the deceased.
