Aftab Confesses Chopping Gf Shraddha’s Body Into 35 Pieces

New Delhi: Mehrauli murder case accused, Aaftab Ameen Poonawala has reportedly confessed to having committed the crime to the court on Thursday.

As police feared Aftab would be attacked in public, he was produced before a local court via video conference at 4 pm today for a custody hearing.

Aftab has confessed that it took him 10 hours to chop his live-in partner’s body into 35 pieces and that he had burnt her face until it was unrecognizable.

Expecting that he’d be brought in, a large group of lawyers was seen outside the courtroom, shouting “hang him, hang him”. Some shouted, “Hang the jihadi”.

Meanwhile, the samples collected from the Mehrauli area have been sent for a DNA test.

Aftab Poonawala and Shraddha Walkar, who’d met on the dating app ‘Bumble’, had moved to Delhi only in mid-May this year after living together in their hometown Vasai near Mumbai for at least a year before that.

After an argument barely four days after moving into a rented flat in Mehrauli, Aftab Poonwala strangled Shraddha Walkar, whose body he cut up into pieces after the murder in May, kept those in a fridge and dumped the pieces in a jungle over the next 18 days.
