Angered Aaftab killed Shraddha for meeting her friend, says Delhi Police

Aaftab Amin Poonawala was angered by his live-in partner Shraddha Walkar going to meet her friend and became violent, which made him kill her, the Delhi Police has said.

The Delhi Police on Tuesday filed a 6,636-page chargesheet against Aaftab Poonawala in Delhi’s Saket court. According to the police, Shraddha went to Gurugram to meet her friend on May 17. The next day, when she returned to their house, an argument broke out between the couple over her visit, following which Aaftab, in a fit of rage, killed her.

Aaftab Amin Poonawala, the accused, objected to the chargesheet being given to his present lawyer, saying that he intends to change his legal representative.

The chargesheet in the case purportedly involves a mix of forensic and electronic evidence, along with 100 testimonies. Aaftab was presented to the court through video conferencing. His judicial custody has been extended till February 7.
