The Baby Jumping Festival of Castillo






Would you let someone jump over your infant like this?

Known as El Colacho in Spain, the Baby-Jumping Festival is a popular event that takes place in Castillo de Murcia near Burgos, every year since 1620. It’s basically all about infants laying on a blanket and adults dressed as devils jumping over them is a procession that’s supposed to cleanse the little ones of all evil doings.

Attempt to change Aarushi password

Investigators probing the Aarushi-Hemraj murder case are believed to have submitted a detailed report before a Noida court stating how attempts were made to change the passwords of e-mail accounts and logins of social networking website accounts of Dr Rajesh Talwar and Aarushi after the double murder.

Seeking permission from the court for a narco test, the investigators are believed to have explained how, while extracting details from the desktop and laptop seized from Dr Talwar's house, they found that attempts were made by unidentified persons to change the passwords of the email accounts of Dr Talwar and Aarushi. These attempts were made on or after May 19, it was said. Aarushi and Hemraj are believed to have been murdered on the night on May 15.

Aarushi's profiles on social networking sites were deleted around or after May 19 as well. Investigators have now roped in cyber experts to trace the internet connectivity through which these attempts were made to tamper with the login passwords.

On the day the sensational murders took place, Dr Talwar visited a particular website at 10:59:42 pm. At 11:28:28 pm, he visited the American Academy of Implant Dentistry website. At 11:37:54 pm, he checked his email's sent box. At 11:41:53 pm, he visited another email site. And at 11:41:53 the desktop and laptop show the last usage. Dr Nupur Talwar, during her questioning, has allegedly told the police that she went to Aarushi's room to switch on the WiFi modem power as Dr Talwar was not happy with his data card connectivity speed. At 11:41:53 pm, either of the parents must have gone to Aarushi's room to switch off the WiFi modem power, the report submitted before the court said.

The report also talks of Aarushi being "frequently" in touch with at least three particular e-mail IDs during the past three years. Meanwhile, the Noida police on Thursday sought the chief judicial magistrate's permission to conduct narco-analysis, brain mapping and lie detector tests on Dr Rajesh Talwar.
