In a major development to the Shraddha murder case, the accused Aaftab Amin Poonawala has made another huge and shocking revelation in the case. Aaftab has confessed that he Charred Shraddha’s face in order to hide her identity.
The Delhi Police sources said that he had first chopped her body into 35 pieces, then burnt her face in such a way that it becomes unidentifiable even if the body parts are discovered. “During the interrogation, Aftab revealed that he had learnt about all this on the internet, and also about how to hide the body from everyone’s reach,” the sources said.
The eastern district of police has been contact by their southern counterpart to match the DNA sample of the chopped body parts including a human head. According to the sources, the East Delhi Police had found a chopped head and hand in the Trilokpuri area of Pandav Nagar police station area of the national capital in June this year, which was nearly a month after Shraddha was murdered. The body parts found in East Delhi were sent for a DNA test, and the forensic report will be coming soon.
“Accused Aftab told the police that he used bleach to destroy the evidence, and also used chemicals so that not a single stain of blood remained on the floor,” the sources said.
“He threw all the parts of the body in the forest and left thumb at some other location,” the sources added.
The police also stated that during the interrogation, there was no remorse or feeling of guilt on the accused’s face. “When the police officer talks to the accused in Hindi, he replies in English. He sleeps peacefully in the police station lockup all night. After the murder, the friends of the accused Aftab also came to the house..but during that time he had hidden the parts somewhere else,” the source said.
