Nupur Talwar was taken into custody Monday morning, shortly after surrendering before a special court hearing the case. She applied for bail immediately after her arrest, but the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) opposed the plea.

Nupur Talwar, who faced a non-bailable warrant issued by the CBI special court here after she failed to appear in court as directed, surrendered before CBI special magistrate Preeti Singh.
The CBI argued that being a woman was not a ground for bail. CBI lawyer R.K. Saini also said that Nupur Talwar had been avoiding orders to appear in court and that it was a heinous case of double murder.
