Delhi murder case: Friends reveal HORRIFIC information
Palghar (Maharashtra): Friends of Shraddha Walker, the girl from Maharashtra who was allegedly slain by her live-in lover in Delhi, have related their side of the tale, presenting a picture of Shraddha as they knew her. On the basis of the complaint from the deceased’s father, Delhi Police arrested Aftab, her live-in boyfriend and a native of Mumbai, on Saturday. Initially, the pair lived peacefully, but things deteriorated between them, and Shraddha wanted to quit the relationship, according to her Palghar, Maharashtra-based acquaintances.
Speaking to ANI on Monday, Rajat Shukla, her friend, said, “Today suddenly the news flashed on the mobile of her murder. I was shaken to the core of my soul that my friend has been murdered. She told us in 2019 that she was in a relationship since 2018. They lived together. Initially, they lived happily, but then Sharddha started saying that Aftab beats her. She wanted to leave him but couldn’t do so.” Rajat said that it had become “very difficult” for her to come out of that relationship, adding that “her life had become like hell”.”While shifting to Delhi, the decision was taken with their mutual consent that they would do a job there. After shifting to Delhi, our contact with her nearly broke,” he added.
Laxman Nadir, one more companion of Shraddha from Palghar, point by point the conditions under which they moved toward the police. “She reached me two months prior. She didn’t answer to any of my texts since August. Her telephone was turned off. That is the point at which it turned into a place of worry to me that I ought to begin connecting with individuals. At the point when I got no update, I at last let her sibling know that I had addressed her once and for all in July. So it’s better assuming we contact the police and look for their assistance,” he said. He said that the couple used to have a ton of battles, because of which they were once prepared to move toward the police, nonetheless, regarding Shraddha’s feelings, they ruled against it. “They used to have a great deal of battles. There was a battle so much that she messaged me on WhatsApp and requested that I take her some place that evening. That’s what she said assuming she lived with Aftab that evening, he would kill her. We, companions, had removed her from her home that evening and furthermore had cautioned Aftab that we would move toward the police. Yet, regarding Shraddha’s feelings we said that we wouldn’t move toward the police since she advised us not to do as such,” he said.
Delhi police solved the six-month-old murder case and arrested a man for allegedly killing his 28-year-old live-in partner, chopping her body into 35 pieces, and disposing of them at different places in and around the national capital. The accused identified as Aftab Amin Poonawalla (28), a resident of Mumbai, was caught on Saturday on the basis of the deceased’s father`s complaint and has been sent to police remand for five days, the police said on Monday.” The two got together via a dating app in Mumbai. They were in a live-in relationship for three years and had shifted to Delhi. Soon after the two shifted to Delhi, Shraddha started pressurizing the man to marry her,” Additional DCP-I South Delhi Ankit Chauhan told ANI. “The two quarrelled frequently and it used to get out of control. In this particular instance that occurred on May 18, the man lost his temper and strangled her,” said Chouhan.”The accused told us that he chopped her into pieces and disposed of her parts in nearby areas in the jungle area of Chhatarpur Enclave. He has been arrested and an investigation is going on,” added Chouhan.
The charged supposedly cleaved her body into 35 pieces, purchased a cooler and kept them in it. He later began discarding the body pieces at various areas in and around Delhi during night hours for the following 18 days, said sources. In November, the casualty’s dad Vikash Madan Walker, an occupant of Palghar (Maharashtra), moved toward Mumbai police and held up a missing individual’s grievance. During the underlying examination, the casualty’s last area was tracked down in Delhi, and based on this, the case was moved to Delhi police.
The victim’s father told the police about his daughter`s relationship with Aftab and suspected his involvement in his daughter’s absence. During the investigation, it was found that Aftab and Shraddha had come to Delhi and started living in a rented apartment in Chhatterpur Pahadi area. The police during the course of the investigation, traced Aftab and nabbed him. The accused, during questioning, confessed to the crime and said that they fought often as Shraddha was pressurizing him for marriage.” The accused has been arrested and a case under IPC sections 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of an offence committed) has been registered at Mehrauli police station,” officials said. Police also recovered some bones recovered from the accused’s rented flat and officials said that the efforts to recover the remaining parts of the body were on.
