Description
The police finally got some important material evidence in the Shraddha Walkar murder case: a DNA test confirmed that the bones that the alleged murderer Aaftab Poonawala brought to the police, in a jungle in the Mehrauli area of Delhi and in Gurugram, they are actually yours. Traces of blood found in her apartment also match hers, says the test report, performed on DNA samples from her father.
This key evidence comes more than a month after her boyfriend Aaftab Poonawala was arrested for killing her in May. She had cut her body into 35 pieces which she kept in a refrigerator and then dumped them in the jungle near her rented flat in Mehrauli, South Delhi, for 18 days.
So far, in the evidence list, the police had some knives allegedly used by Aftab Poonwala, along with his "confession" which is not directly valid evidence. However, the material obtained through such a confession - on which the police also conducted polygraph tests - can be presented as evidence to reconstruct the sequence of events before and after the murder.
Although Aftab Poonawala allegedly killed Shraddha Walker on May 18 - after another argument in what had long been a toxic relationship - the crime gradually came to light after her father went to the police in their hometown in Maharashtra sometime in October.
