A wife-swapping racket exposed in the Capital earlier this year has added yet another dimension to the twin murder of the Noida schoolgirl Aarushi Talwar and her domestic help Hemraj, which for long has been suspected as having links to a group sex racket.
According to Delhi policeofficials, the racket was uncovered in February this year when the Preet Vihar police registered the complaint of a woman that her husband and father-in-law were trying to force her into wife-swapping.
The phone call records scrutinised in the case led the cops to home in on Sector 25 of Noida, the Talwar neighbourhood.
The startling revelation was corroborated by a man living in the society also. "The Talwar family was involved in some sort of club. Most neighbours knew that something fishy is going on in their house but everyone preferred to keep a distance from the Talwars," a neighbour said.
However, the CBI was non-committal on the theory.
The official further said that there were almost 25 couples in the club and they used to meet frequently in and around Delhi.
He said whenever such meetings happened the Talwars kept Arushi locked inside her room. "That happened only when the members of the club met at Talwar's residence. But Hemraj knew everything and shared the details with Arushi," said the officer.
The kingpin
"The kingpin of the club is a industrialist of Noida and he selected only high-profile members in collusion with Talwar," said the officer.
