The Allahabad high court acquitted Rajesh and Nupur Talwar on Thursday in the double murder case of their daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj in 2008.

The court ordered for the immediate release of the dentist couple, who were serving life sentence in Ghaziabad’s Dasna Jail after being convicted by a special CBI court in 2013.
