Shraddha Walkar murder case: The Delhi Police on Wednesday got permission to conduct a narco test on Aftab Poonawala, accused of brutally murdering call centre employee Shraddha Walkar. Aftab has been arrested by the Delhi Police for allegedly murdering Walkar, who had stayed in Vasai, in May this year, chopping the body into 35 pieces before dumping them at different places in the national capital over several days.
The Delhi Police had on Tuesday approached the court to get permission to conduct narco test on the call centre employee as the accused consent is also necessary for the same. According to the police, Aftab is not cooperating in the investigation. According to sources, he is giving varying statements regarding Shraddha's mobile phone to mislead the police. Aftab earlier told police that he had thrown the mobile phone while on his way to Mumbai. Later, he changed the statement saying he had disposed of the mobile in Delhi itself.
According to reports, the police may also take the help of a psychiatrist.
Meanwhile, a social activist, with whom call centre employee Shraddha Walkar had participated in a Mumbai beach clean-up drive, has claimed the deceased suspected her live-in partner Aaftab Poonawala of cheating on her and appeared quiet and aloof during the cleanliness campaigns.
Walkar also had financial problems and she and Poonawala used to have frequent fights, said activist Shreha Dhargalkar who runs an NGO. The activist also claimed Walkar (27) wanted to have a small family and a child. "That was her dream," she added.
On Tuesday, Police also said that both the live-in partners used to fight because Shraddha used to doubt Aftab too often.
