Aaftab Poonawalla burnt Shraddha’s head to hide identity

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Making a huge revelation in the Shraddha Walker murder case, Delhi Police sources said that the accused Aaftab Poonawalla had charred his partner’s face 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, Aaftab 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. In yet another loop in the Shraddha Walker murder case, the Southern District Police of Delhi have contacted their Eastern counterparts in a bid to match the DNA sample of chopped body parts including a human head which the latter had recovered earlier in June.

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 (on May 18). In the East Delhi case, the police were not able to ascertain whose body parts they were because of the tampered state of the recovered body parts.
