Although they had been at loggerheads for months, it was a row over who would pay for the house expenses that escalated to Aftab Poonawala killing his live-in partner Shraddha Walkar in Delhi’s Mehrauli last night, sources said on Wednesday based on his evidence. interrogation so far. Shraddha’s friends and the couple’s former landlords in Vasai near Mumbai also told NDTV that they had regular arguments, mostly over suspicions that they were cheating on each other. On May 18, their fight started over the purchase of some household items. It escalated as some other issues came up and sometime between 8 and 10 pm, Aftab Poonawala strangled Shraddha Walkar to death, police sources said. “He kept the body in the same room overnight and then went to buy a knife and a fridge the next day,” an officer told NDTV. The police confirmed the events with statements from shopkeepers. He allegedly cut the body into 35 pieces, kept them in a refrigerator and then dumped them in a nearby jungle over the next 18 days. Police go to the flat where Aftab Poonawala and Shraddha Walkar lived in Delhi’s Mehrauli area. The story came to light last month after Shraddha Walkar’s parents – who had not spoken to her for a year as they did not approve of her interfaith relationship (Hindu-Muslim) – went to the police in Vasai in Maharashtra. hometown near Mumbai after some friends told him he had been out of touch for months. Cops from Vasai initially called Aftab in for questioning and later linked up with the Delhi Police as suspicions grew. Eventually, bank transfers from her phone app and some Instagram chats, combined with her mobile signal location, helped police figure out that Aftab was lying about being left alone on May 22. She was using her phone and apps to make it appear as if she were alive, investigating officials said. Both worked in call centers and had been living together since at least last year, first near Mumbai, where they had met on the dating app Bumble, and then in Delhi since they moved here in May this year. After about a week in a hotel, they had gotten an apartment to rent on May 14th. He allegedly killed her four days later. Aftab was recently fired from his job in Gurugram for being absent without leave, police sources said. It has led researchers to some bones in the Mehrauli jungle. Police said they have sent these and her father’s DNA samples to a forensic laboratory to check if the bones are Shraddha’s. Some blood stains have also been found from the apartment, sources said. However, key elements remain to be gathered, such as the knife he used. the victim’s severed head or any other identifiable part of the body; the clothes he was wearing that day. or her phone that Aftab threw away either in Maharashtra or Delhi. He changes his statements, so the police plan to take a lie detector test. A psychiatrist has also been hired to assist during the interrogation.
The accused will appear in a local court on Thursday. The police will request further detention so they can find more material evidence.
