Expressing his sorrow over the murder of his daughter, Shraddha Walker’s father said on Thursday said that he had forbidden her from being in a relationship with Aftab Poonawalla (now accused in the case), but she did not listen to him.
The father of the deceased, Vikas Madan Walker, said that Shraddha considered Aftab a righteous man, which is why she did not listen to his advice about not being in a relationship with him. Speaking to the press, the deceased’s father said that he is confident of getting justice after the Delhi Police dived deep into the investigation.
“Delhi Police realised that Aftab sometimes lies and sometimes speaks the truth. So, they applied for the Narco test. I feel I’m about to get justice. He should be hanged,” he said.
He claimed that Aftab had been lying throughout the investigation and questioned why the accused confessed to his crime so quickly.
“I have been feeling since the beginning that Aftab has been lying all along. I said this firstly to Mumbai Police and then to Delhi Police. He confessed right away, I doubted even this. He was confusing us with his lies. I told the Mumbai Police repeatedly but I don’t know why they believed that he was telling the truth. According to him, Mumbai Police was working. I couldn’t really argue. It is their system,” he said.
The father doubted that Aftab would have erased all the evidence during the six months after committing the murder on May 18.
