Shraddha Case: DNA Confirms Bone, Hair Samples Are Of Shraddha Walkar

By LokMarg

In a major development in the Shraddha Walkar murder case, the Delhi Police on Wednesday said that samples of hair and bones recovered by them matched that of Shraddha.

A mitochondrial DNA report of the samples found in the forest area of Mehrauli and sent for testing at the Centre for DNA Fingerprinting Diagnostic (CDFD) in Hyderabad has matched with that of the victim’s father and brother, the Delhi Police said.
The bone and hair samples were sent to Hyderabad for “DNA Mitrocondrial profiling” as the DNA couldn’t be extracted from the body parts.

“Mitochondrial DNA report confirms hair and bone sample matching with Shraddha Walker. Delhi Police has received the report from the Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics,” said Special Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Sagar Preet Hooda.

“One piece of bone and a bunch of hair purported to be of the deceased have matched with that of her father and brother which establishes the identity of the bone and hair to be that of Shraddha Walker,” Special CP added.

He further said that the bones will now be sent for post-mortem examination to be conducted by a medical board at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).

Shraddha was allegedly killed by her live-in partner Aaftab Amin Poonawala.

Aftab allegedly chopped her body into 35 pieces, bought a refrigerator and stored them in it before he disposed them off at different locations in and around Delhi during the night hours for the next 18 days.

Police had earlier said Aaftab, who confessed to killing Shraddha and chopping her body into pieces, gave misleading answers to questions

Notably, Delhi Police is currently investigating the murder case.

In November, Shraddha’s father Vikash Madan Walkar, a resident of Palghar (Maharashtra), approached Mumbai police and lodged a missing person complaint.

During the initial investigation, Shraddha’s last location was found in Delhi, and on the basis of this, the case was transferred to Delhi Police.

Shraddha’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 Aaftab and Shraddha had come to Delhi and started living in a rented apartment in the Chhattarpur Pahadi area. The police during the course of the investigation, traced Aftab and nabbed him.

Aftab, during questioning, confessed to the crime and said that they fought often as Shraddha was pressuring him for marriage.

Recently, Aaftab has moved an application seeking bail on the grounds that the initial investigation in the case has been completed.

The bail application moved through the legal aid counsel has stated that the initial investigation in the matter is completed and a charge sheet is to be filed.

Aaftab Poonawala is in judicial custody till December 23.

Aaftab’s polygraph test and Narco Analysis test have also been conducted.

The Delhi Police will file a charge sheet in the matter soon. (ANI)

Shraddha Case

Shraddha Case: DNA Reports Of Bones Found In Forest Soon

By LokMarg

Results of DNA testing of bones retrieved from a forest area in the national capital, based on the statement of Aftaab Amin Poonawala who confessed to having killed his live-in girlfriend Shraddha Walkar, may give a new turn to the case, according to Delhi Police.

A total of 13 decomposed bones and part of a jaw, collected from the Mehrauli forest as part of the investigation in the Shraddha Walker case are believed to be of the 27-year-old woman.
According to sources, the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) and Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) are likely to release the DNA report sometime this week.

According to police, once the reports arrive, the case can be strongly presented before the court and efforts will be made to get the harshest punishment for the accused Aaftab Poonawala.

Aaftab has been accused of murdering Shraddha and chopping off her body into 35 pieces and storing them in a refrigerator before dumping them. He is currently lodged in Delhi’s Tihar Jail and the police are busy preparing the charge sheet for the murder.

On Friday, Aftab was presented in the Saket court through video conferencing from where he has been remanded to judicial custody for 14 days. Earlier, Aftab was sent to judicial custody for 13 days.

CFSL is examining 13 bones recovered from the forest, traces of blood found in the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom of the house, and knife, clothes, mobile, and laptop recovered from the house. On the other hand, FSL has to submit the report of Aftab’s polygraph and narco test, sources say that all these reports may come soon.

The narco analysis test of Aaftab Poonawala, the accused in the gruesome murder of his live-in partner Shraddha Walkar, was conducted on Thursday, December 1, at the Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital in the national capital’s Rohini. (ANI)

Aaftab Poonawala

Tihar Authorities Provide Aaftab, The Great Railway Bazaar’ Book

By LokMarg

On the request of Aaftab Amin Poonawala, accused of murdering his live-in partner Shraddha Walkar, the Tihar jail authorities gave him a copy of ‘The Great Railway Bazaar, jail sources said on Saturday.

“The murder accused Aaftab, who is currently lodged in Tihar Jail, requested police for an English novel to read inside the jail,” Tihar Jail sources said.
Interestingly, Delhi Police provided Aaftab with the book ‘The Great Railway Bazaar: By Train Through Asia’, a travelogue by American novelist Paul Theroux. The jail authorities gave him the book as it is not based on crime and does not have content that could make him harm others or himself, the sources said.

Delhi Police took this decision as Aaftab (28) is accused of strangulating his live-in partner Shraddha Walkar and chopping her body parts, storing them in a refrigerator before dumping them in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.

According to police, most of the time in jail, Aaftab plays chess. “Poonawala spends time by plotting chess moves, often solitary and occasionally sparring with two fellow inmates,” jail authorities said.

According to sources, Aaftab shares his jail cell with two more inmates who frequently play a game of chess on the chess board available in the cell. Often Aaftab keenly observes the games of the two other inmates and whenever he gets a chance he plays both the white and black pieces. He is the single player and he strategises and plays both sides himself, sources said.

“The vicious Aaftab is fond of chess and he prepares different strategies and plays the board from both ends,” sources said, adding that he is a “good player, in this game.”

Both the undertrials who share Aaftab’s cell have been accused in a theft case and according to sources they have been asked to keep a close watch on him.

The jail sources also informed that Aaftab plans his own moves against himself and that is something the Delhi Police have been suspicious of from the very beginning “Aaftab is very cunning. His every move seems part of a well-planned conspiracy as if he is playing alone from both ends…”

Earlier, talking to ANI, one of the investigators in the case said that Aaftab had totally followed what the police told him to do. He confessed his crime, co-operated with police, and agreed to the polygraph and narco tests. But now the police are becoming suspicious of his “good” behaviour.

Apart from the ‘obedient’ behaviour of Aaftab, Delhi Police are suspecting the ‘rehearsed’ answers given by him. “Aaftab’s behaviour and good conduct are under question. How can there be one answer to each question? It looks like the accused has already rehearsed the answers,” officials said.

However, during the interrogation, Aaftab confessed that he used a Chinese chopper to dismember Shraddha’s body.

Delhi Police could do a brain mapping to read Aftab’s mind to find out what’s brewing inside. “We are still waiting for the DNA report, only after that will consider the Brain mapping test,” police said.

Initially, Aaftab was trying to misguide the Mumbai Police. But, once the case came under the jurisdiction of Delhi Police, he started confessing his crime. The police say they suspect it to be part of his “devious” scheme.

As per information, the jail authorities have increased the security outside Aaftab Poonawalla’s jail quarters, and deployed an additional guard outside his barrack, especially after an attack on a jail van ferrying Shraddha’s alleged killer outside the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in Delhi’s Rohini.

The Tihar Jail Authority has also said that in view of the danger to Aftab inside the jail, “special vigil is being kept around his cell”, adding, “Aftab neither talks much to anyone nor does he mingle”.

According to jail officials, Aftab eats and sleeps on time as if he has no remorse for his actions.

“It seems from his actions that the murder of Shraddha Walkar was also a part of a deeper conspiracy like his chess strategies,” the jail sources stated.

Aaftab is accused of strangling to death his live-in partner and chopping her body into 35 pieces. He is also alleged to have preserved the chopped body parts in a refrigerator before dumping them in forested areas in Delhi and Gurugram.

Police had earlier said Aaftab, who confessed to killing Shraddha and chopping her body was giving misleading answers to questions.

Delhi Police had submitted in court that Aaftab was giving wrong information and was misleading the investigation. (ANI)

Aaftab Shraddha case

Shraddha Case: Aaftab’s Post-Narco Test Interview Tomorrow

By LokMarg

After the narco analysis test of Aaftab Poonawalla, accused in the Shraddha Walkar murder case, was successfully completed on Thursday, a four-member team will visit the Central jail tomorrow for the ‘Post-Narco Test Interview’.

According to the prison officials, the arrangement was made keeping in view the security of the accused who has recently attacked outside the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) office in Delhi.
“Four member team of Forensic Science Laboratory and Investigating officer will visit the Central jail tomorrow for the ‘Post-Narco Test Interview’. This arrangement has been made in view of the high risk involved in the transportation of Aftab,” the prison officials said.

Aaftab’s narco analysis test was conducted at the Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital in the national capital’s Rohini, Delhi Police officials said earlier today.

Aaftab was brought by Delhi Police from Tihar jail where he is currently lodged, to the Rohini hospital around 9 am for a narco test after a Delhi court gave permission for the analysis.

Before undergoing a narco analysis test, Aaftab was given a general examination to check his blood pressure, pulse rate, body temperature, and heartbeat. He also signed a consent form agreeing to the narco test after which he was put under anesthesia and he was subjected to the narco analysis.

The narco test was conducted by a team of FSL officials which includes a photo expert, forensic psychology expert and one doctor of forensic medicine, and the Nodal Officer, Narco, Ambedkar Hospital.

The narco test of Aaftab was over by 11:45 pm after which he was kept under doctors’ observation and given psychotherapy.

When Aaftab regained full consciousness the Delhi Police team took him back to Tihar with full security.

On Monday the police van carrying Aaftab came under attack by some sword-wielding men.

In the case registered under the Mehrauli Police Station under sections 365, 302, 201 of the Indian Penal Code, the narco test of the accused Aaftab began this morning, according to Sagar Preet Hooda, IPS, Special CP (Law & Order) Zone II.

Delhi Police said that earlier during a polygraph test conducted at the Forensic Science Laboratory office in the national capital, Aaftab had confessed to killing Shraddha in May this year and chopping her body into many pieces. He is also alleged to have stored the chopped body parts in a refrigerator and gradually disposed them of.

A Delhi court had permitted the police to conduct a polygraph test and a narco analysis of Aaftab after the Delhi Police submission that the accused was giving misleading answers to questions. (ANI)

Shraddha Murder: Cops Say Aftab’s Narco Test May Bring New Twist

By LokMarg

In another development in the Shraddha murder case, the police want to conduct the narco test of Aaftab Amin Poonawala at the earliest to find out if anything new is brewing in his mind.

One of the investigators in the case told ANI that Aaftab is very clever and can anytime bring a new ‘twist’ to the case.

He said Aaftab has completely obeyed what the police told him to do. He confessed his crime, co-operated with police, and agreed to the polygraph and narco test. But now the police have started feeling suspicious about his ‘good’ behaviour.

Initially, Aaftab was trying to misguide the Mumbai Police. But, once the case came under the jurisdiction of Delhi Police, he started confessing the whole crime. So, the police is suspecting this might be a part of his plans.

Now, the police want to conduct Aaftab’s narco test at the earliest, so that everything going on in his mind comes out to the police. The police also got the date of the narco test preponed to December 1 from December 5, given by the court earlier.

Earlier on Tuesday, Delhi Court gave permission to Delhi Police to conduct a narco test on the Shraddha Walker accused Aaftab Amin Poonawala on December 1.

Special CP (law and order) Sagar Preet Hooda had said that Delhi Police will seek permission from the court for the test.

Aaftab is accused of strangling his live-in partner Shraddha to death and chopping her body into 35 pieces. He is also alleged to have preserved the chopped body parts in a refrigerator before dumping them in forested areas in Delhi and Gurugram.

Police had earlier said Aaftab, who confessed to killing Shraddha and chopping her body into 35 pieces, was giving misleading answers to questions.

Delhi Police had submitted in court that Aaftab was giving wrong information and was misleading the investigation. (ANI)

Shraddha Case: Had No Clue Of Body Parts In House, Says Aaftab’s Girlfriend

By LokMarg

In another development in the Shraddha murder case, Aaftab’s most recent girlfriend was in shock after hearing about the horrific act by him and said that she had no clue that human body parts were kept inside Aaftab’s Chhatarpur residence when she visited there twice after the murder. She also informed me that Aaftab gifted her a ring.

As per her, Aftab had gifted a fancy artificial ring on October 12.
As per sources, this ring belonged to Shraddha.

The police recovered the ring from Aaftab’s new partner and recorded her statement.

As per reports, Aaftab’s partner is a psychiatrist by profession.

As per a statement given to the police, this friend informed that she had come to Aftab’s flat twice in the month of October, but she had no inkling of Shraddha’s murder or about the presence of human body parts in the house. Aftab never looked scared, she said. She also informed me that he often used to tell her about his Mumbai home.

Aaftab and his new girlfriend came in contact through an online dating app.

As per police, Aftab was in contact with about 15 to 20 girls through different dating sites.

During the course of the investigation, the police traced his Bumble app record and found out about a girl who had come in contact with Aftab through the app on May 30, about 12 days after Shraddha’s murder.

Aftab’s psychiatrist friend said that his behaviour seemed normal, even very caring and she said that she never felt that his mental state was not ideal. She also informed me that Aftab had a collection of different varieties of deodorants and perfumes and he often used to give her perfumes as gifts.

As per her, Aaftab used to smoke a lot of cigarettes and also used to roll his cigarettes himself but often used to talk about giving up smoking soon.

She also claimed that Aftab was very fond of different types of food and often used to order non-vegetarian items from different restaurants at home and expressed his hobby about how the chefs decorate the food in the restaurant.

As per police sources, Aaftab’s new partner is undergoing counseling as she was found to be in a state of shock following the emergence of the details of the Shraddha murder case. (ANI)

Shraddha Aaftab's Case

Shraddha Case: Aaftab’s Ordered Meals Reduced After May

By LokMarg

Early in May this year, Shraddha Walkar finally decided to part ways with her live-in partner Aaftab Amin Poonawala, which did not go well with the latter who resorted to murdering her in a well-thought-out manner and not due to sudden provocation, according to circumstantial evidence collected by Delhi Police, say sources.

Apart from this, the Delhi Police team probing the death case has found bloodstains in Aaftab’s flat- including from its bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom, sources said on Tuesday.
A total of 13 pieces of bones including a jawbone have so far been recovered from Gurugram and Delhi and tests by Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) will be conducted to confirm whether they belong to a human being, sources said.

“13 bones recovered so far. Some other items have also been found, which will be examined by Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL). Some parts were also found on the border of Delhi Gurugram. A jaw has also been found. Some weapons have been found in the jungle and Aaftab’s flat. With which weapon she was cut, it will be known after the CFSL report,” said Delhi Police sources.

Police have also formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the matter, said sources on Tuesday.

The Police team has recovered some weapons from the rented Chattarpur residence of Aaftab and from the forested areas on the border of Delhi and Gurugram. The weapons will also be sent for forensic analysis.

Some clothes have been recovered and it is conjectured that these were the same that were worn by Shraddha and Aaftab on the day of the murder, sources said adding that these clothes will be sent for forensic analysis.

The police have also contacted Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram, Google, Google Pay, and Paytm over email to access details of Aaftab’s internet history. Paytm has provided its reply, Zomato’s response showed that Aftab was ordering food for two people and that after some time the food orders showed only the food quantity being ordered was for one person alone.

The police have asked for details from the dating app, where Aftab and Shraddha met three years ago.

Evidence also suggested that during the time of the murder both Aaftab and Shraddha were present in the flat, sources said.

The Police, however, is yet to recover Shraddha’s mobile phone

Aaftab is accused of strangling to death his live-in partner Shraddha and chopping her body into 35 pieces in May this year. He is also alleged to have preserved the chopped body parts in a refrigerator before dumping them in forested areas in Delhi and Gurugram.

The police have also found some clothes of Aaftab and Shraddha and sent them to CFSL for investigation, sources said on Tuesday.

“These seem to be the same clothes that were used at the time of the incident, which will be clear from the rest of the CFSL report,” it said.

The Police have also found blood stains in the bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom of the Aaftab’s house.

The sources further said that only a report by CFSL can ascertain when Shraddha was killed.

“Aaftab has said that he killed Shraddha on May 18 but the police have not accepted it. Her body has not been found and a post-mortem was not conducted. The biggest challenge before the police is to ascertain exactly when was Shraddha murdered. Nothing can be said unless and until the CFSL report on this comes. This is a very scientific case and everything depends on the scientific report. The CFSL report is awaited,” said sources.

Sources also said that Aaftab appeared to be very confident during his questioning and he was responding to questions very fast and in a relaxed manner.

“Delhi Police has formed an SIT. The search is still going on in the jungle and everywhere where there is any chance of recovery of the bones and other things. The report of the polygraph test has not been received yet, the polygraph test only gives an idea of whether the accused is speaking the truth or not. Narco test is also not normally admissible in law, however, if there is any recovery through the narco test it is admissible in the court. There may be some more chances of recovery through the narco test,” sources said.

According to sources, Shraddha wanted to leave Aaftab and both had decided on May 3 or 4 that they would separate and live separately.

“This did not go down well with Aaftab who felt that Shraddha would get involved with someone else,” they said.

The sources further said that there is no suspicion of the role of Aaftab’s friend Badri, who suggested to the pair a place to stay.

“Delhi Police does not have any eyewitnesses, this is the biggest problem in the case,” sources added.

Meanwhile, Delhi Court on Tuesday gave permission to Delhi Police to conduct a narco test on Aaftab Amin Poonawala on December 1.

Special CP (law and order) Sagar Preet Hooda had earlier today said that Delhi Police will seek permission from the court for the test.

Notably, the Delhi Police solved the six-month-old blind murder case and arrested Aaftab Amin Poonawala on November 12 this year on the basis of Shraddha’s father’s complaint. Acting on a complaint from Shraddha’s father the Delhi Police registered an FIR on November 10.

Aaftab and Shraddha met on a dating site and later moved in together at a rented accommodation in Chhatarpur.

Delhi Police interrogation revealed that Aaftab killed Shraddha on May 18 and later started planning on disposing off her body. He told police that he had read about human anatomy so that it could help him in the chopping of the body. Police said that Aaftab, after doing a search of the shopping mode Google, cleaned blood stains from the floor with some chemicals and disposed of stained clothes. (ANI)

Shraddha Case: Two Men With Swords Attack Police Van Carrying Aaftab

By LokMarg

Two men with swords were detained for attacking the police van carrying Aaftab Amin Poonawalla, the accused in the Shraddha Walkar murder case, outside the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) office in Delhi.

The two men who attacked the police van were carrying swords and claimed to be from ‘Hindu Sena’.
Aaftab was being taken by the police after his polygraph tests were done for the day.

Earlier, the FSL Director Sanjeev Gupta told ANI that the polygraph test of Aaftab may continue tomorrow as well.

“The Expert team is conducting polygraph tests. Today’s session will be completed soon. We may need to continue the test tomorrow as well. Once our tests are completed, the Narco test will be conducted,” he said.

The polygraph test held on Sunday could not be completed, despite Aaftab being taken to the FSL office for three days.

The first session of the polygraph test on Aaftab was deferred after his “ill health”. The second session of the test, which was to be held on November 23, was also deferred after Poonawala reportedly “fell ill”. The second and third sessions were conducted on November 25 and 26 respectively.

Aaftab is accused of strangling to death his live-in partner Shraddha and chopping her body into 35 pieces. He is also alleged to have preserved the chopped body parts in a refrigerator before dumping them in forested areas in Delhi and Gurugram.

Police had earlier said Aaftab, who confessed to killing Shraddha and chopping her body into 35 pieces, was giving misleading answers to questions.

Delhi Police had submitted in court that Aaftab was giving wrong information and was misleading the investigation. (ANI)

Shraddha murder case

Aaftab Will Kill Me, Shraddha Told Police In 2020

By LokMarg

In the latest twist in the tale of the Shraddha Walkar murder case, a letter has surfaced that Shraddha allegedly wrote in 2020 at the Tulinj police station in Maharashtra’s Palghar, in which she complained that Aaftab Poonawala, the accused in her murder case, had beaten her and threatened to kill her.

The letter in question has reportedly been shared by Shraddha’s neighbour in Vasai with whom Shraddha had gone to file the complaint. The Maharashtra police have confirmed that the deceased had written a complaint letter on November 23, 2020, at the Tulinj police station. The Maharashtra police also confirmed the authenticity of the said complaint letter shared by Shraddha’s neighbour as to have been written by Sharddha.
In the complaint letter, Shraddha said that she “did not have the guts to go to the police” because Aaftab had threatened to kill her. However, she added that Aaftab tried to kill her on the day she was writing the letter, and he also threatened to kill her and cut her into pieces and throw her away.

“It’s been six months he has been hitting me,” the letter read.

The letter further claimed that Aaftab’s parents were aware that he beat her up and that he tried to kill her.

“I lived with him till date as we were supposed to get married anytime soon and had the blessings of his family. Henceforth, I am not willing to live with him. So any kind of physical damage should be considered coming from him as he has been blackmailing me to kill me or hurt me whenever he sees me anywhere,” the letter read.

The letter surfaces a day after Aaftab on Tuesday told a Delhi court that he murdered his girlfriend in the “heat of the moment”.

Aaftab was produced before the Saket court in the national capital on Tuesday after his five-day police custody expired.

“What happened that happened in heat of the moment,” Aaftab told the court.

However, Apollo Hospital, Senior Consultant Psychiatrist, Dr. Sandeep Vohra on Tuesday reacted to Aftab Poonawala’s statement in Saket Court. “It cannot be a case of ‘heat of the moment’,” the top expert said.

“I will not agree to the claim that Aftab murdered Shraddha in the heat of the moment. If there is something that happens in the heat of the moment you immediately feel guilty, if not immediately then later on. Many times you would hear cases like somebody shot someone or killed someone and surrendered at the police station and accepted his crime. So this case cannot be of the heat of the moment,” Dr. Sandeep Vohra told ANI.

Meanwhile, a court-sanctioned polygraphy test on Aaftab was initiated in the national capital on Tuesday.

The assistant director of the Forensic Science Laboratory, Rohini, Sanjeev Gupta said the process of conducting a polygraph test on Aaftab has begun and the report will be out in a week’s time.

Delhi Police had previously said Aaftab, following his arrest in the case, confessed to killing his live-in partner in their apartment in West Delhi’s Chhatarpur and chopping her body into 35 pieces.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Gupta said, “We’ve been directed by the Delhi Police and our director to process this case fast. We are working on some parameters that are important before conducting a narco test.”

In a polygraph test, the subject is asked a series of questions while his physiological indicators such as blood pressure, pulse rate, and respiration are measured. This data is then used to determine if the subject is lying.

Aaftab is alleged to have preserved the chopped body parts in a refrigerator before dumping them in the forests of Chhatarpur.

Aaftab and Shraddha met on a dating site and moved in together to a rented accommodation in Chhatarpur as the relationship grew.

On receipt of the complaint from Shraddha’s father, Delhi Police registered an FIR on November 10.

Subsequent interrogation of the accused revealed that Aaftab killed Shraddha on May 18 after which he started researching ways to dispose of the body. He also borrowed ideas on disposal from popular crime shows on his streaming devices, Delhi Police revealed.

He also told police that he also read up on human anatomy before chopping his girlfriend’s body.

Police said after browsing on the internet on ways to remove all traces of his crime, Aaftab mopped blood stains from the floor of the couple’s Chhatarpur apartment with some chemicals and also disposed of all stained clothes.

He then shifted the body to the bathroom and bought a refrigerator where he hoarded the chopped body parts, police further informed. (ANI)

Shraddha Murder case

Shraddha Murder: Was Well-Planned, Not Heat Of Moment Act, Says Expert

By LokMarg

Apollo Hospital, Senior Consultant Psychiatrist, Dr. Sandeep Vohra on Tuesday reacted to Aftab Poonawala’s statement in Saket Court, who is accused of murdering her live-in partner Shraddha Walkar. “It cannot be a case of ‘heat of the moment’,” the top expert said.

As per reports, Aftab on Tuesday told Saket Court that whatever happened was in heat of the moment. To this, Dr. Sandeep Vohra replied that it was a planned move.
“I will not agree to the claim that Aftab murdered Shraddha in the heat of the moment. If there is something that happens in the heat of the moment you immediately feel guilty, if not immediately then later on. Many times you would hear cases like somebody shot someone or killed someone and surrendered at the police station and accepted his crime. So this case cannot be of the heat of the moment,” Dr. Sandeep Vohra told ANI.

“It is something that was continuously on his mind and it seems to be a well-planned move. Because the way he acted after executing the murder can be done only by a person who has psychopathic traits and not by a normal person. People like Aftab do not have any remorse and are liars,” Dr. Sandeep Vohra said.

Reacting to Aftab’s evasiveness to Delhi Police, Dr. Vohra said that people like Aftab would change their statements and mislead the police. “One cannot rely upon such people who do not have normal emotional development,” he added.

Dr. Vohra further said that in Shraddha’s case there was a lack of communication and support from family and if that support was given to her earlier, then she would be alive today.

Rightly stressing the need for parents’ guidance and family support, Dr. Vohra said that it’s an unfortunate story of a girl who was trying to establish a steady relationship with a person who had unpredictable behaviour, a violent temperament, and would beat her often. The things which are striking in this case, sadly, the girl herself was not invested properly in society, in the sense that she did not have her own family’s support and if that support would have been given to her in a consistent manner, then maybe we could have prevented the loss of a precious life.

Emphasizing the role of the internet and social media in the case, Dr. Vohra said that social media can lead to such barbaric incidents. “It clearly indicates a lack of cohesion in the society, being individualistic and only focusing on social media. Yes, people definitely get ideas from the Internet, as Aftab, who confessed that he used to watch Dexter, a crime thriller based on a psychopath. So that is the flip side of watching too many criminal-minded shows and then getting influenced by the internet.

“There is a lack of tolerance, increased aggression, and a bombardment of all aggression, and negativity all over on social media visuals all over on social media. People, who are not socialising physically with others, and always watching social media, then somewhere down the line, especially those people who have a tendency to get influenced by others execute such crimes,” Dr. Vohra said further.

On Aftab’s behaviour, he said, “Such people are the alleged killer, they are manipulative by nature. So when she said that she would leave, he threatened her that he will commit suicide, and manipulated her many times.”

Aftab is accused of strangling his live-in partner Shraddha Walkar and chopping her body into 35 pieces.

Delhi Police solved the six-month-old blind murder case and arrested Aftab Amin Poonawalla on the basis of Shraddha’s father’s complaint.

Aftab and Shraddha met on a dating site and later moved in together in a rented accommodation in Chhatarpur. Delhi Police received a complaint from Shraddha’s father and registered an FIR on November 10.

Delhi Police’s interrogation revealed that Aftab killed Shraddha on May 18 and later started planning for disposing of her body. He told police that he had read about human anatomy so that it could help him in chopping off the body.

Police said that Aftab, after searching in shopping mode Google, cleaned blood stains from the floor with some chemicals and disposed of stained clothes. He shifted the body in the bathroom and bought a refrigerator from a nearby shop. Later, he chopped the body into small pieces and put them in the fridge.

Meanwhile, a Delhi court has ordered Rohini Forensic Science Lab to conduct a narco analysis test of accused Aftab Poonawala within five days. (ANI)
