I'm reading the book, Aarushi. I'll post my observations as I read it.
Kal_1993
Soon after the parents discover the body, the maid enters the house. Why does the mother ask the maid to go into the bedroom and look at the body? Wouldn't the parents want to save their daughter the humiliation even after her death? Why let a maid, who is usually a conduit for gossip in Indian neighbourhoods, into the bedroom to look at the desecrated body of their daughter?
Unlike you, I won't say this is evidence of their guilt. I just think it's interesting that the mother would want a stranger to see her daughter with her head slip open and her throat cut, and possibly defiled in other ways that the author left out for the sake of decency.
