"People mostly remember Aarushi Talwar as the victim. They should also remember that Hemraj, too, was brutally murdered and his family members are waiting for justice. Just because he was a domestic help, it does not lessen our loss," Banjade's son-in-law Jeevan Sharma said.

Banjade's three-member family, who live in Agrakanchi area of Nepal, said his murder was a huge setback to them. And now CBI's decision has nearly shattered them.

Reacting to the CBI's decision, family said that culprits should be found at any cost.

"If CBI can't, then who will unearth the real culprits? Will the killers be allowed to go scot-free after taking two lives?" said Khumkala, Banjade's widow.
