Noida, May 24: Nupur Talwar, the wife of dentist Rajesh Talwar, arrested on Friday for allegedly killing his daughter and domestic help, on Saturday claimed that he was totally innocent and she would fight his battle for justice and not sit quite.

She also denied there were any illicit relations between her husband and Anita Durrani, a dental surgeon, which the police said was one of the reasons for the twin murder.

"Even after all this, I can say it has nothing to do with this. There is no such thing," she told a TV channel.

Coming out in strong defence of her husband, Nupur said, "With all my conviction I can say it (Rajesh killing Aarushi) can't be the way it is suggested (by the police). He was a doting father. It is doubly untrue.”

She added, “In fact I used to feel that I had done something good in the past to be part of such a wonderful family. I have faith in the legal system and I have faith in God."

Nupur, who is also a dentist, said she cannot believe that her husband could be behind the murders.

"It is not possible, just not possible. The killer is out there somewhere. We will have to fight it out in the court. The truth is there. The truth has to come out."

Breaking her silence for the first time ever since the murder came to light last Friday, Nupur said they were a very close knit family and on the night of the murder, the family had food and watched television together like any other family before they went to sleep.

"I have been in the house. Is such a thing possible? Do you think...can any mother sleep throughout...I think it is beyond anybody's imagination. Utter nonsense, baseless nonsense. They (police) can say whatever they want. I know it is not true. God knows it is not true," she said.

Asked as a mother can she be part of a cover-up to save the husband from law, she said "would any mother do that? Then I don't think she is a mother. She is not a human being. She is an animal. Even a father would not do it."

To a question about the police charge of extra-marital relationship between Rajesh and Anita Durrani, she said, Dr Durrani was like an extended family.

"I have known her since Aarushi was born. Her daughter may be six months older than Aarushi. Her daughter and my daughter were like sisters. Whenever we have had medical problems, her husband (Praful) would come and give medicines for Aarushi. Even when Rajesh gets asthmatic attack, the first to be called would be Praful. In fact, we never had a family doctor. Praful was our doctor," she said.
