Hey everyone, and welcome to the first ever episode of the H is for homicide podcast. I’m your host Karnika or preferably Kiki. Today we’re going to be diving in to the 2008 noida murder case, which quite frankly I had no idea about before researching this case. But nevertheless is very interesting. To understand this case lets go back to the very beginning. Lets go back to 24th may 1994 almost 14 years before the incident. This was the day when in Delhi India, Arushi Talwar was born to two dentists Dr Rajesh Talwar and Dr Nupur Talwar. Arushi was a student at DPS ( for those who don’t know Delhi public school) and according to her friends and teachers was a charming and bright student. Her parents Rajesh and Nupur Talwar were renewed dentists in the Delhi NCR region. The family lived in apartment L-32, second floor jalvayu Vihar sector 25 Noida. Although the talwars were only a family of 3 they had a live-in domestic helper yam prasad banjade better known as Hemraj a 45-year old man from arghakhanchi district of nepal. Arushi’s parents mainly worked at their clinic in the haus khaz area of Delhi which they shared with their close friends Anita and Praful Durrani, another dentist couple. Rajesh and Anita worked at the clinic in the mornings (9am–12pm), while Praful and Nupur worked there in the evenings (5pm–7pm).
