Aarushi: Beyond Reasonable Doubt

Aarushi: Beyond Reasonable Doubt

In 2008, Aarushi Talwar, a 13-year-old Delhi schoolgirl is found murdered in her bedroom. A day later, the body of the prime suspect - the family's 45 year old Nepalese help is discovered on the terrace of the same flat. Who wanted them dead and why? Aarushi - Beyond Reasonable Doubt, the feature length version of a televised episodic series, reopens the 8 year long Aarushi Case Diaries. In a true-crime story, defined by compromised crime scenes, botched police investigations, extensive media trials, and a polarized India, this film pitches the prosecution against the defence, and the believers against the skeptics. It draws on the voices of investigators, lawyers, family and friends, crucial witnesses, and journalists who give their versions of truth. So, while the story starts from scratch, the producers also follow the Appeal in the High court which gives every theory its due. The documentary therefore boldly delves into fine print and relies extensively on court documents, witness statements & forensic reports to takes each piece of evidence to its logical, scientific conclusion. Under production for over a year and a half, the Producers of the documentary also tracked down former suspects in hiding, and reached out to international crime scene investigators and forensic scientists - a blood spatter analyst from Cambridge, a forensic pathologist from London, a former Scotland Yard deception detection analyst for their review of the evidence-on-record.
