From there we went to Parvati Valley, Rishikesh, Dehradun, Mussoorie, and Manali. From there we went to Chandigarh, where we met a man named Badri whom we had befriended through Bumble app. He asked us to visit his home in Delhi."


FRIEND KICKED THEM OUT OF HIS HOUSE


On May 5, 2022, the couple visited Badri's house in the Chhattarpur area in Delhi. They stayed at his house for about 8-10 days and even there, Shraddha and Aftab continued their fights. "Due to frequent quarrels, Badri asked us to leave his house... On May 16, 2022, we rented a house in Chhattarpur through a broker named Rahul Roy and started living together," he told the police.


BROKE AND JOBLESS, THEY CONTINUED FIGHTING


At that time, neither of the two had a job and most of their savings were blown on the trip. However, their quarrels over small things continued. "On May 18, 2022, Shraddha asked me to get groceries, but I refused as I was unwell. Due to this, she got angry and said they had only two bags and there was nothing to eat." "I also asked her to give half the expenses. At this, she became furious and started abusing me. I was fed up with this and wanted to get end the quarrels forever. So, I decided to get her out of the way," he said
Then on May 18, he pushed her to the floor and sat on her chest, before strangling her. 


AFTAB SUSTAINED INJURY WHILE DISPOSING OF SHRADDHA'S BODY PARTS


Aftab hid the body in the bathroom. And planned to dispose it of by cutting it into pieces and throwing them somewhere. He bought a hammer, a saw, and three blades from a hardware shop in Chhatarpur for the purpose.


"On May 19, 2022, I bought a trash bag, a knife, and a chopper from a shop near Mandir Wali Road in Chhattarpur. I tried to stow the knife in my bag and cut myself over the tattoo on my right hand. I got five stitches from the neighborhood doctor," he said.


Aftab bought a fridge for Rs 25,000. The shopkeeper sent the refrigerator to his address the same day in the evening. He packed some of the body parts in a trash bag and kept the others in the freezer. To clean up the blood, he bought toilet cleaner, bleach, handwash, and other items from a shopping app. 


WHAT HAPPENED TO SHRADDHA'S HEAD?


Aftab said: "I burnt the pieces of the body with petrol. After grinding several bones in the grinder, I scattered the powder on a 100-foot road nearby. I discarded some parts of the body in a dustbin in Chhattarpur while I dumped the rest in a forest near the crematorium in Chhattarpur, the forest behind Rain Basera Uttarpur Enclave, along MG Road, leading to Gurugram, and the forest near Chhattarpur Hill."
"I incinerated many of the parts using petrol. About three to four months later, I dumped her head in the forest near Chhattarpur Enclave," he revealed.


HOW DID AFTAB TRICK SHRADDHA'S FAMILY?


The police said Shraddha's Instagram account was logged onto from Aftab's phone. He texted her friend Laxman, posing as Shraddha. "On the day of the murder, I transferred Rs 54,000 from her mobile phone to my account twice. After that, I went to Mumbai in the first week of June to collect the goods from my rented house in Vasai. I came back to Delhi. When I was called by the Maharashtra Police to inquire about Shraddha, I dumped Shraddha's phone," he said.
