Shraddha Walkar murder case: In a latest update to the Shraddha Walkar murder case, the hearing has been adjourned till May 9 as the concerned court was on leave.
After having reserved the order on framing charges, Additional Sessions Judge Manisha Khurana Kakkar had posted it for April 29 for its pronouncement. In addition, the Delhi Police is also scheduled to file its reply to Vikas Walkar's, Shraddha's father, application seeking the release of his daughter's remains to perform last rites.
During the last hearing, Special Public Prosecutor Amit Prasad had said that the police will file a reply on the application on the next date of the hearing. The Delhi Police had earlier told the court that incriminating circumstances are clearly revealed through reliable and clinching evidence and they form a chain of events.

Meanwhile, Shraddha's father has also demanded the case be fast-tracked and Aftab hanged, instead of waiting for a number of years like in the Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case. "As I know, the statements of his parents in the case have not been recorded and I don't know where they are. They should be brought to the front and questioned," Vikas Walkar said.
According to sources, the Delhi Police has prepared a draft of 3,000 page-chargesheet containing a list of 100 witnesses in the grisly murder case. The chargesheet contains a list of forensic evidence that the police have collected apart from the DNA reports that established the identity of the victim.
