His latest attempt on Talwar was with a sharp edged weapon.

Police took him to the court police lock-up.

Utsav is on bail from the district court in Chandigarh and a case against him is pending before the trial court.

Rajesh Talwar moved the court with a 60 page protest petition seeking rejection of closure report filed by the CBI in Aarushi case.
