The Talwars, who have been behind bars for nearly four years, walked out of the jail at 5 pm.
Police escorted the couple to Nupur’s parents’ house in Noida’s Jalvayu Vihar, the same locality where they stayed when their daughter and their domestic help were murdered in 2008.
“A conspiracy had been hatched to implicate our clients,” said the couple’s lawyer Tanveer Ahmed Mir after their release, which comes just two days ahead of Diwali.

The Talwars won’t go back to their Noida residence, where their daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj was murdered nine years ago. “We will be celebrating Diwali together” said Nupur’s old parents, further adding that the hunt for the Aarushi’s killer will continue.
The Allahabad High Court in its October 12 verdict said neither the circumstances nor the evidence were enough to hold them guilty.
Aarushi Talwar was found dead in her bedroom in the Talwars’ Noida home on May 16, 2008. Hemraj’s body was found the next day from his room on the terrace.
The Noida apartment is currently rented out to a couple.
The Talwars will visit the Dasna Jail every 15 days to help inmates facing dental problems after their release, said the jail authorities. “The Talwars, who gave medical service for free, refused remuneration. If they would’ve taken it, amount would’ve been appx Rs 49,500,” said D. Maurya, Jailor of Dasna Jail.
