Delhi-Mehrauli Murder Case Updates: Amid the ongoing probe of the brutal murder of Sharaddha Walker by her live-in partner Aaftab Poonawalla — who allegedly sawed her body into 35 pieces — the Delhi police, after a long search have recovered remains of the skull from the Mehrauli forest. To look for further missing body parts, a team also searched the Maidan Garhi pond, not so far away from the Mehrauli house.

The narco analysis test on Poonawala will not be conducted on Monday even as the process required to do it has been initiated, officials told PTI. The pre-narco test will be conducted to ascertain his emotional, mental, psychological and physiological well-being. If any of these are are found to be disturbed, the narco analysis test will not happen.

In a new revelation, investigation has found that Aftab had couriered a consignment of household items that included a fridge, utensils and clothes for Rs 20,000 to a Delhi address in June this year.  Delhi police interrogated the owner of the logistics company, ‘Goodluck Packers and Movers,’ for this.

In other news, a lawyer on Monday moved the Delhi High Court, seeking transfer of Shradha Walker’s murder investigation from the Delhi Police to the Central Beureau of Investigation(CBI).

Amid this, police also conducted a search of couple Shraddha Walkar and Aaftab Amin Poonawalla’s rented apartment, and recreated the crime scene. They have recovered two plastic bags from the house.

Meanwhile, the whereabouts of Aaftab’s family members, who shifted to a society in Mira Road from Vasai in Palghar district last month, are currently not known. “The family shifted into a two-bedroom flat on the 11th floor of this building around Diwali, but the flat has been locked since last week. After this (news about Aaftab), the Poonawala family was in a state of depression. We don’t know where they are now,” a society member told PTI.

As the case has sent shock-waves across the nation, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma have termed it as “love-jihad.” Addressing a rally in Gujarat’s Kutch district on Friday, Sarma said, “Recently, one Aaftab brought Shraddha from Mumbai and cut her into 35 pieces in the name of love jihad. And after that, where did he put her body? In the fridge. When the body was in the fridge, he brought another girl and started dating her”.

So far, the police have recovered 13 body parts, which are mostly skeletal remains, but the weapon used to chop her body is yet to be recovered, even as searches continue in the forest areas of Mehrauli and other parts of Delhi, and Gurugram.

Poonawala allegedly strangled Walkar (27) on May 18 and sawed her body into 35 pieces which he kept in a 300-litre fridge for almost three weeks at his residence in South Delhi’s Mehrauli before dumping them across the city over several days past midnight. The saw was allegedly bought from a shop on the Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road, police sources said.
