New Delhi, June1 : Uttar Pradesh (UP) Chief Minister Mayawati on Sunday, transferred Meerut Inspector General of police (IG) Gurdarshan Singh, Deputy Inspector General (DIG) P C Meena and Noida Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) A Satish Ganesh who were investigating the Noida double murder case.

The UP government has assured that it will provide all assistance to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for investigations into the murder of Arushi and her domestic help Hemraj.

Mayawati said, "We have crucial information about the double murders. We will give everything to the CBI."

Earlier on Sunday, the CBI initiated investigations in twin murders of 14-year-old Arushi and her domestic help Hemraj in Noida and formed a 25-member team to crack the case.

After re-registering the case filed by Noida police, the team went to the scene of crime and talked to the kin of the deceased besides meeting the Noida Police officers who were investigating the twin murder.

Noida police had arrested Arushi's father Rajesh Talwar, a dentist, for allegedly killing his daughter and servant Hemraj in their Noida's Sector 25 house on the night of May 15-16. He is in judicial custody.

The police claimed that he killed Arushi in a fit of rage after he found her with Hemraj in an "objectionable" position. They have claimed that Talwar took Hemraj to the terrace and killed him before killing his daughter.
