What the cops have found so far:
So far, police have found six body parts. The torso and forearms of the deceased are yet to be recovered. The chilling case bears eerily similarities with the murder of 26-year-old Shraddha Walkar in the national capital.
Walkar was allegedly killed by her 28-year-old live-in partner Aftab Amin Poonawala after a confrontation who then sawed her body into pieces and kept them in a fridge for almost three weeks at his residence in south Delhi's Mehrauli before dumping them across the city. The Delhi Police arrested Poonawala on November 12.
