In the latest round of developements in the Shraddha murder case, the Delhi Police sources told the 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.
The Delhi police also said that one common friend of Aftab Poonawala and Shraddha Walker who had intimated Shraddha’s father about her going incommunicado was also called for questioning.
Father of Shraddha Walker, on Tuesday demanded a death penalty for the accused while also suspecting a "love jihad" angle behind the incident. Speaking to ANI, Shraddha's father, Vikas Walker said, "I suspected a love jihad angle. We demand the death penalty for Aftab. I trust Delhi Police and the probe moving in the right direction. Shraddha was close to her uncle and didn't talk to me much. I was never in touch with Aftab. I lodged the first complaint in Mumbai's Vasai."
Aftab dumped Shraddha's phone, her last location being traced so that it can be retrieved. Police are searching for the weapon used to chop her body into pieces. He used her Instagram account until June to give an impression of her being alive, ANI reported citing Delhi Police sources.
Aftab Poonawala was brought to the jungle by the Delhi Police where he allegedly disposed off parts of Shraddha's body.
