Dr Rajesh Talwar, who walked free after spending 50 agonising days in prison in connection with the Noida double murder case, on Saturday, said the family's stand "has now been vindicated".
"I was in a lot of grief. I thank God and the CBI as what my family has been saying all along now stands vindicated," a tired looking Talwar told reporters.
Entering the house of his father-in-law in Sector 25 here after visiting the Sai Baba temple nearby, he pleaded with the intrusive media to leave the family alone.
"Please allow us to be among ourselves as we want to grief about our daughter," an emotional Talwar said.
Talwar's wife too pleaded with media-hounds to leave them alone. "This is a time of pain and suffering for us. We request all of you to leave us alone," she said.
Asked whether the family was contemplating any action against the Noida Police which accused him of murdering his daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj, Talwar said "nothing is going in my mind. This entire episode is the biggest grief of my life. Allow me to share the grief with my family because for the last 50 days, we have not been together."
