Dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar will visit the Dasna Jail once in every 15 days to attend to the inmates facing dental problems after their release, jail authorities said. The Talwars were, on Thursday, acquitted in the murder case of their daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj.
The two have been lodged in Dasna prison in Ghaziabad since November 2013, after they were awarded life sentences in the case. Both Rajesh and Nupur Talwar are likely to be released from Dasna prison on Monday following their acquittal.
A jail official said that the dentist couple had helped revive the near "defunct" dental department at the prison hospital.
We were concerned about the fate of our dental department after their (Talwars) release. They (Talwars) have assured us that they would visit the jail to attend to inmates once in every 15 days, even after their release.Sunil Tyagi, Jail Doctor
Tyagi said that besides prisoners, Rajesh and Nupur Talwar have also been treating jail staff, police officials, and their children.
Since the Talwars have come here (prison), they have treated thousands of patients who are happy with their services.
To manage the rush of dental patients at the jail hospital after the Talwars' release, prison authorities have also tied up with a Ghaziabad-based dental college
The doctors from the dental college will also visit Dasna Jail twice a week to attend to patients so that inmates don’t face problems.
