Mehrauli Murder Case: To Avoid Suspicion, Killer Stayed Active On Victim's Social Media, Kept Chopped Body Parts In Deep Freezer

Mehrauli Murder Case

New Delhi: Staying active on Shraddha Walkar's social media account and disposing her body parts over several days were among the measures Aaftab Amin Poonawala allegedly employed to conceal his live-in partner's murder.

But it was only a matter of time before he ran out of luck and the police came knocking at his door. The couple moved to the house in Mehrauli in May. On the 18th of that month, an argument broke out between them and Poonawala tried to shut her mouth with his hand. He later allegedly strangulated her, police said.

The next day, he purchased a saw and a 300-litre refrigerator, taking inspiration from American crime drama 'Dexter'. On May 20, he sawed her body into 35 pieces and dumped them in the fridge. (PTI)
