...Mahindra bought a 47.2% stake in the tainted company for $600 million in a government auction in April. If the fraud money reappears as assets in the name of the company, its good news for Tech Mahindra, which paid a huge sum for Satyam and its liabilities, says Suresh Talwar, partner at Mumbai-based law firm Talwar Thakore & Associates, Satyam's corporate counsel until 2006. It could be a bonanza for shareholders, too, in the form of dividends or bonus shares, he says. Judging by the scale of the fraud and India's lethargic judicial system, any windfall could still...
...missing and presumed to have fled, was the killer. (Murders and robberies by domestic workers are increasingly common in and around New Delhi; this month alone, ill-paid, ill-treated or thieving servants have been accused in five murder cases in the capital.) However, when a friend of the Talwar family, a former cop, came to offer condolences the following morning, he suggested making a more thorough search of the house. It was only then that the alleged murderer's decomposing body was found on the terrace. Not only had the cops missed the second corpse on their initial investigation...
After the discovery of Hemraj's body, the police quickly announced their theory of the double love affairs. Dr Talwar had killed Aarushi and Hemraj, the cops said, because Aarushi had objected to her father's affair, while he had objected to hers. The Talwar and Durrani families denied the allegations strenuously. A harried Dr. Talwar shouted "They're framing me!" into TV cameras while being led away by the police. He is technically in custody for questioning. Police sources say he has confessed to the crime, but Talwar insists he has done nothing of the sort. His bedraggled wife...
...addition to the missing murder weapons, Aarushi and Hemraj's cellphones have also not been found. Observers also wonder, if Dr. Talwar was indeed the murderer as the police allege, why the presumably blood-stained clothes he wore while allegedly slitting their throats have not been found. Women- and child-rights activists have also complained about what they say are the distasteful remarks by the region?s Inspector General of Police, Gurdarshan Singh, who said that "Dr Rajesh Talwar killed Aarushi when she objected to his extramarital affair, though he was as characterless as his daughter." The country's minister...
...lack of evidence and the denials have hardly diminished the Indian media's obsession with the police's sensational theory. Cameras have been following the Talwars and the Durranis everywhere. The English-language daily Hindustan Times ran a profile of Dr. Talwar called "How Dr Jekyll Turned Mr Hyde." Appeals by the Talwar and Durrani families to respect their privacy have made no difference. Personal family video has been aired on television. It is the kind of frenzy Western audiences have gotten used to since the still-unsolved JonBenet Ramsey case in the U.S. more than a decade...
