New Delhi, Dec 15, 2022: The DNA of Shraddha Walkar’s father has matched with the dismembered bones, which were retrieved from South Delhi’s Mehrauli forest area, Central Forensic Science Laboratory report has confirmed. Delhi Police has also received a detailed report of Aaftab’s polygraph test.

 

Shraddha Walkar was strangled by her live-in partner Aaftab Poonawala, who chopped her body into 35 pieces, stored them in a fridge and dumped them across South Delhi’s Mehrauli forest area for several days.

Aaftab also underwent different sessions of polygraph test and a narco analysis test after a Delhi court gave permission for the same. Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) officials said that Aaftab confessed to killing Shraddha Walkar during the polygraph test and said he has no guilt about the crime he committed.

The police have recovered 13 bones from the forest, including Shraddha Walkar’s jaw. The gory details about Walkar’s murder shook the entire nation last month after the Delhi Police arrested her live-in partner Aaftab Amin Poonawala on November 12.

Following Poonawala’s confession, police scanned through various forest areas and even a pond in Madangir was emptied to look for Walkar’s missing body parts. Cops also searched the forest areas near Aaftab’s Gurugram office located in DLF-Phase 2 and had recovered plastic bags.

The couple had met on a dating app and police have learnt that even after killing her, Poonawala’s profile on the app was active and was still chatting with several women.
