The murder of Arushi Talwar was one of the most dramatic episodes of 2008. Her parents projected the image of a happy family. "We were such a nice family," Nupur Talwar said in a television interview eight days after her daughter's death. "I always used to think I must have done something good in my last life to get such a nice family." She portrayed her husband as a doting father ("We were about to celebrate her birthday. Rajesh told Arushi to call as many friends, even if it were to become expensive"), maintained that she "trusted" the murdered domestic help, Hemraj, 45, and insisted that at the end of a heavy workday, it was quite possible to sleep through a murder at home with noisy ACs and fans. If the police pointed a finger at them, the parents did so at murderers "out there".
Conclusion - So there are two possibilities exists here Shakalya died by curse of Yajnavalkya immediately OR he died later on by Pandy king Shankara ,with curse involved. The question is did Yajnavalkya committed Brahma-hatya by killing Shakalya ? lets analyze this with the help of all above with two points.
1) No- if we consider points mentioned by Adi Shankara and story of Skanda Purana he did not committed Brahma-hatya , he just cursed Shakalya and the bait of their debate was Shakalya's life. He did not physically killed Shakalya , so technically no direct Brahma-Hatya and Shakalya died later from the hands of Pandya king and the Pandya kind incurred the sin of Brahma-Hatya.
2) Yes- if we are looking from the angle of story mentioned in Vayu purana , all the sages present at the discussion occurred the sin of Killing a brahmana that means Yajnavalkya also was part of it. Later all the sages got freed from this sin by bathing at a holy spot. So he did committed Brahma-hatya or it happened by his act or curse
Earlier, while stepping out of Sabarmati jail, Ahmed had shouted "hatya, hatya" (murder) to reporters, expressing fear that he might be killed in an encounter. He had also filed a plea in the Supreme Court to get his visit to Uttar Pradesh for a court hearing stalled, claiming a threat to his life in a "fake encounter" following the murder of Umesh Pal.
Agni agreed to take one part but only for a little while. Brahma said that a man who did not perform the appropriate rituals at the right time would absorb the sin. The trees and grass and rivers also said that they would take Brahmahatya for a short period. And Brahma said that a man who polluted them or harmed them in any way would absorb the sin.
There was no one else willing to take what was left of Brahmahatya. So, Brahma assigned the remaining part to the celestial nymphs and said that a man who slept with a woman during her menstrual period would absorb part of that sin.
In another version of the same story, Brahmahatya herself says that she would live for three nights inside young women who are full of pride and that she would destroy that pride. Obviously, this is also a reference to menstruation.
Notably, after stepping out of Sabarmati central jail in Ahmedabad on Sunday evening, Ahmed expressed fear that he might be murdered. "Hatya, hatya (murder, murder)," Ahmed had told reporters outside the prison while being whisked away in a police vehicle by security personnel.
