 SHRADDHA WALKAR
MURDER CASE
Shraddha and Aaftab Amin Poonawala are from Maharashtra, they met through a dating app in Mumbai while working in
a call center.

Shraddha`s family was against their relationship and wanted Shraddha to break up with Aftab.

But Shraddha decided to leave her parents, duo shifted to Delhi on May 15 (Just three days before Aftab strangled the
woman to death).

They started living together in rented apartment. Later Shraddha was forcing Aftab to marry her, but Aftab had no plans
for marriage. Aftab strangled Shraddha and killed her on 18 May 2022.

Aftab then cut the dead body into 35 pieces and which he kept in a 300-litre fridge for almost three weeks, before
dumping them away in nearby areas over the course of 18 days.

The Police also confirmed that the accused murdered the woman between 8 pm to 10 pm and chopped her body into 35
pieces. He later stored the severed body parts in a refrigerator and disposed of the pieces in Delhi’s Mehrauli forest over
the next 18 days. As reported earlier, the accused had kept Shraddha’s dead body in the same apartment after the murder
until the next day when he especially bought a knife and refrigerator to chop and cold store her body parts.

Aftab made all possible attempts to make Shraddha’s friends and relatives believe that she was fine, active, and alive after
he murdered the woman. He paid all her credit card dues and also engaged in fake conversations with her friends through
Instagram for a month.

Later, Shraddha’s father and her friends began searching for her after they failed to get social media updates from her
account. Shraddha’s father also lodged a missing report after which the Delhi Police began an investigation in the case.
Aftab was called for interrogation on October 26 during which he reiterated that Shraddha had left the apartment on May
22.
Initially, accused Aftab tried to mislead the police investigation as he said that Shraddha had
left the apartment on May 22 after they had a massive fight. The Police discovered that Rs
54,000 had been transferred from Shraddha Walkar’s account to Aftab Poonawala’s bank
account using the banking app on her phone between May 22 and 26. This raised concerns
because the accused had told the cops that he hadn’t spoken to her since she departed on
May 22.

The accused was arrested based on the complaint filed by Shraddha’s father on November
10. The Police detained him and asked one crucial question which exposed the accused- “If
she had left him on May 22, how was her phone location still in Mehrauli?” Aftab Poonawala
then broke down and narrated the entire story.

On November 14, the Delhi Police solved the six-month-old murder case of Shraddha Walkar
and arrested Aftab Poonawala for murdering her, and then chopping her into 35 pieces to
dispose of her body. The accused has been arrested and a case under IPC section 302
(murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of an offense committed) have been
registered.

Aftab has accepted that he killed Shraddha Walkar in the Polygraph test. Sources tell that
Aftab has also admitted to dumping the body parts of Sharddha in the jungle after the murder
and that he had planned to kill her long back. Aftab also accepted having made physical
relations with many girls. Aftab Amin Poonawala is likely to undergo narco test in Shraddha
murder case.
