The Aarushi Talwar murder case captured the imagination of India’s middle class like no other in the last decade. Before long, there were theories floating and biases had crept in. This book sifts through the theories and rises above the biases to provide the facts of the case. Gut wrenching, eye opening and at once emotionally draining, this book is a lucid account of the life of the Talwars, a couple who lost their child under horrifying circumstances. Even though the book does not answer all the questions, it raises enough questions, including the most pertinent – were the Talwars really guilty?
