New Delhi: Shraddha Walkar would have had no idea that her “happy days'' with her live-in partner Aftab Poonawala could one day turn fatal. Captioned “happy days”, Shraddha’s last Instagram post was with her partner Aftab, who is now known to have killed her and cut her corpse into 35 pieces which he disposed of in different parts of Delhi.
Aftab, who seems to be affectionately kissing her partner in Shraddha’s post, strangled and chopped her body into 35 pieces and stacked them in a 300-litre refrigerator — especially brought for the purpose — and would watch the clock struck 2 in the midnight to dispose of the chopped body parts so as to evade detection by the Police.
Shraddha was reported missing in May this year after she eloped with Aftab to Delhi. On Monday, the Delhi Police said that they got lead in the case and revealed the gruesome incident.
The Delhi Police on Tuesday said that it was considering to write to dating app, Bumble, requesting details of Aftab's profile to find details of the woman who visited her in the same flat where he stacked his live-in partner Shraddha Walker's chopped body parts in a refrigerator, reported the news agency.
As per a report by Indian Express, Aftab dated another woman through the same dating app through which he met Shraddha. He brought the woman, a psychologist, to his flat one to two times between June and July while his live-in partner’s chopped body was stacked in the refrigerator at the same place.
The Delhi Police sources told news agency ANI that Aftab had used a mini saw to chop off her body parts adding that the weapon is yet to be recovered.
