Aftab used Chinese knife to dismember Shraddha's body, threw severed head in Mehrauli forest
Aftab Poonwala has reportedly also confessed that he threw Shraddha's severed body in Mehruali forest and threw her mobile in the waters of Mumbai coast.
New Delhi, Dec 03: In yet another chilling revelation, Aftab Amin Poonawala, accused of killing his live-in partner Shraddha Walkar, has reportedly confessed during the narco analysis test that he dismembered her body into pieces using a Chinese weapon.
He has confessed during the test that he chopped off her body using a Chinese knife (cleaver) to cut Shraddha's body and threw the weapon in the bushes near his office in Gurugram, sources close to a news channel said. He has also informed the cops that he dumped her severed head in Mehrauli forest. Another report claims that he cut her hands first.
The accused has also revealed that Shraddha's mobile was thrown into the waters of Mumbai coast and it has not been recovered yet.
On the other hand, the narco and polygraph tests have revealed more or less the same responses from the accused. "From the preliminary examination, our teams involved in the probe have found out that he gave similar responses during both the tests so it does not bring any kind of new twist to the story," sources added.
Killed Shraddha in a fit of rage, says Aftab during narco test
The accused had earlier claimed that he cut her body into 35 pieces. He then brought a new refrigerator to store it and then dumped the body piece by piece for the next 18 days in the jungle, usually after 2 am to avoid garnering unwanted attention from the people.
Blood stains in Aftab Amin Poonawala's kitchen have been found and blood samples have been sent for examination to ascertain whose blood it is. About 10-13 bones have been recovered from a forest in the Chhattarpur area and have been sent to the forensic lab to find out whether it belonged to Shraddha or not. DNA sample of her father Vikas Walker has been taken so that the dumped body parts and blood sample can be matched.
