Netziens express shock, disappointment at CBI's move

Over 5,000n join justice for Aarushi group

PTI | December 30, 2010



"Shame", "Yet another let down", "Is it a cover up?"-- these are some of the reactions of netziens to the CBI filing a closure report in the sensational Aarushi double murder case after a two-and-a-half- year probe marked by botched up investigations.

"Even 'cold cases', twenty years and older are solved in the US! What on earth is happening here, another cover up?" Sunaina Serna Ahluwalia wrote on social netwoking site Facebook.

Shreya Talwar, another user, wrote, "Yet another let down, but this is not where we stop. This is the time (when) we need to join hands and fight against the injustice happening to Aaru, instead of sitting back and taking everything as it comes."

However, the buzz which was visible when the 14-year-old was murdered in May 2008 along with the domestic help Hemraj is missing this time. Various communities and pages that were created in the name of the killed teenager and appealed for justice are slowly picking up.

Of the many groups in Facebook, 'JUSTICE FOR AARUSHI TALWAR' with over 5,000 members saw numerous people expressing their shock at the development.

"CBI is the prime investigating agency in the nation..if it failed to find the culprits. It's a shame.

Don't they use modern sophisticated scientific ways...my request to CBI, reopen the case and work honestly," said Sashank Kumar.

Pratiksha Rao wrote, "I don't think that Aarushi will get justice in our country specially with such lazy.... CBI.

God bless Aarushi and by God's grace she will get justice and her soul shall rest in peace."

Some of the angry comments are also directed against Aarushi's parents.

Twitter users on the other hand seem more active, and have posted copies of news reports about the latest move by CBI.

Georgy wrote, " Ah! shame on crime dept.... Poor Aarushi Talwar's murder will be a mystery forever...."

Swagat, a Twitter user, said, "CBI couldn't solve the Aarushi Talwar's case. Now there is no doubt that the 2G scam is going to be unsolved...."

A Twitter user, who goes by the name Silver Moon said, "Aarushi Talwar case proved once more how justice can be so easily subverted in ths country. Now we are to believe that NO ONE KILLED AARUSHI."
