Pandemonium broke out outside the CBI court in Ghaziabad on Tuesday soon after the Talwars were given life term in the Aarushi-Hemraj murder case as lawyers jostled with each other and came to blows in a bid to brief TV channels. As Additional Sessions Judge Shyam lal pronounced life imprisonment for Rajesh and Nupur Talwar for killing their daughter and domestic help, lawyers, unconnected with either defence or prosecution, rushed outside to brief the media.
As Naresh Yadav, who used to represent one of the servant’s earlier booked by the CBI, started briefing the media, another lawyer Sanjay Tyagi stood next to him to give his version. Things turned ugly when the personal security officer (PSO) pointed his automatic weapon at Tyagi for his frequent interference while Yadav was briefing television channels.
This agitated Tyagi and his other colleagues and very soon they were seen exchanging blows with each other till others jumped into and separated the two. Both sides hurled accusations against each other. The verdict on Aarushi, at least for the two lawyers, seemed to have taken a backseat.
