Arushi Murder Case - Will there be justice?

Let me clarify. I didn't know Arushi. Nor did I know Hemraj. But now I do. Because of the exhaustive coverage of the double murder case by Media.

Almost a month and a half past the double murder in Nodia. It still remains a mystery. I have been following this case very closely. Was very hopeful when CBI took charge of this case. But now gradually the hope is fading away. There hasn't been any significant breakthrough for the CBI too in this case. At least that is what the media is presenting. I am not blaming CBI or the Noida police too. It is such a complex case!!!!And the media attention is not helping at all. Media is more spoiling the case than making it.

This case has brought out the sleuth in the common people. Everyone started thinking like a detective. This could be the case, that is how it must have happened, so and so must be the culprit....Speculations and more speculations.

But it is certainly a baffling case. Or is it that the facts/evidences have been distorted by the criminals to such an extent that the CBI too is confused and lost? There isn't any trail or evidence which can lead to the culprits. Everything has been planned and cleaned so well. If such is the case, then it is the work of some very intelligent and smart person/s. Which is not possible for a common servant. It has a higher and sharper brain behind it.

If the murders were done on the spot or spur of the moment and not planned, then how come the evidences have been destroyed so easily? Questions, questions and more questions. I want to sympathize with the parents of the young girl, but unfortunately, her parents have been presented in such poor light by the police and the media; that I am no longer sure if they are deserving of my sympathy. What if they are party to the crime?

With ever passing day the chances of a breakthrough get dim. Will Arushi and Hemraj ever get justice? Now the chances are less. May be some day natural justice will take over.

A young, innocent life lost. For no apparent reason. Very sad.
