Delhi Police takes accused to jungle to find other body parts

After recovering suspected 12 body parts which were disposed by the accused Aftab, Delhi Police has now taken the accused to the jungle area with the objective of recovering other body parts.

According to police sources, the samples recovered so far have been sent for examination to ascertain if they are all human remains. “Around 12 samples recovered of remains suspected to be of a human, have been picked up by forensic experts and sent to confirm if they’re all human remains. They’ll be sent to match with DNA samples of her father.”

According to the sources the head is yet to be recovered.

Earlier when the Delhi police arrested the accused Aftab Poonawala, Shraddha’s father demanded death penalty for the accused while also suspecting a “love jihad” angle behind the incident.

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 is 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.”

According to the investigation by Delhi Police, Aftab was a food blogger who used to work at a call centre in Delhi and that the couple used to have frequent quarrels and fights.

“It is also a matter of investigation whether Aftab had already hatched a conspiracy to kill her. Looking at Aftab’s social media, it is known that he had also done food blogging for some time, although no video had come about his blogging for a long time. His last post came in the month of February, after which there was no activity on the profile. He has more than 28,000 followers on his Instagram” the police sources said.   

Police also recovered some bones from Aftab’s rented flat and officials said that the efforts to recover the remaining parts of the body were on.
