It is futile to blame people like the UP police when we have a structure that favours incompetent, spineless buffoons to rise to the top.
We give unbridled power w/o accountability to our politicians. Institutions are encouraged to protect them. Remember the hawala case, the St.Kitts case, the fodder scam case, and .......... Poor Lakhubhai Pathak died in bringing a top politician to book. These politicians play hell with the institutions to serve their vested interest. Look at the consequence: Our culture is in a shambles.
What culture can we claim when we incarcerate a grieving father and destroy him on suspicion by buffoons seeking a scapegoat? I am not saying Dr.Talwar is innocent. I do not know the facts. But our culture should have prevented us from draconian action w/o solid evidence. Once the evidence gathers by all means book him but then we are dealing with an aberration and not a father.
It is notable that not one politician or party spoke up for the concept of the father. And they seek to be called leaders!
I pray Aarushis death will not be in vain. It is time we insist on protection of our institutions.

On the dot! Well said.
If the parents are innocent, which seems to be the fact, no one can compensate them for the trauma they have undergone apart from the loss of a loved one.

By Vishu: It is good to know that CBI has progressed in Aarushi case and now a new character Shambu has come to life in this suspense tinged real life drama with the revelation by Krishna. Why would an educated Doctor allow his servant quarters to be used as a Den. What else is it but a den if 3 men(2domestic helps 1compounder) meet in servant quarters and have beer? And have access to the daughter’s room? Whom to believe and whom not to? Nupur had told categorically on NDTV that she her husband and her daughter were the only 3 people in their house on the night of murder. Krishna claims that Rajkumar killed Aarushi. If so, did the doctor couple notice nothing unusual? Wouldn’t the Talwars have heard Aarushi’s ‘screams for help’? And lastly, why are the Durrani’s so much in focus. Anita Durrani was said to have some relationship with Dr.Talwar, now the servant of Durrani Rajkumar is involved. The maid at Talwar’s house has reportedly told that she found the front door of the Talwar’s locked. Everything seems very mysterious and unusual and strange and most of all ‘Weird!’

Suraj everything seems very mysterious and unusual and strange and most of all ‘Weird! because of the media. India the media is so free they just come to conclusion from the hearsay and jeopardize the whole investigation and to top it the incompetent police, Of course even though the parents are innocent I will bot absolve them of their responsibility towards their children's safety

Absolutely right! The media lacks accountability and hasten to blow up and report any iota of information they get. CBI does not speak to them, so they watch each time CBI officials step out and seem to be searching for something in the drains, and the news report next day goes, "CBI searches for weapons in futile. Although the case was handed to CBI because the Noida police messed it up, they too seem to be doing a poor job solving the case."

true, the media has gone overboard, but imagine if not for the media - this would have been conclusively and summarily bundled and closed by now and some third party blamed. right now - the talwars have a lot to explain - they have said so many stories - each unique!
