In the wake of Shraddha murder case’s investigation, the Delhi Police has now taken DNA sample of Shraddha Warkar’s father in order to match the blood samples and dumped body parts.  The accused Aaftab Amin Poonawala had allegedly strangulated Walker to death and chopped her body into 35 pieces, dumped it in the Chhatarpur area of the national capital.

About 10-13 bones have been recovered from the forest. The bones recovered have been sent for forensic lab to ascertain that whether they are that of Shraddha’s or not. As the investigators dig deeper into the Shraddha Walker murder case, Delhi Police have found blood stains in the kitchen of accused Aftab Amin Poonawalla’s flat in Delhi’s Chhatarpur. The blood samples have been sent for examination to ascertain whose blood it is.

“A lot of work has to be done. The weapon, Shraddha’s head and mobile phone are yet to be traced. The clothes worn by Aftab and Shraddha on the day of the murder have not been found. These clothes were thrown in a garbage-moving vehicle,” sources said.

Delhi Police also recovered Shraddha’s bag from Aaftab’s residence and now will be identified with Shraddha’s family. Delhi Police had applied for the Narco test of the Aftab on Saturday but till now no permission has been granted by the Court, sources said.

Aftab was arrested on Saturday after Delhi police started probing into a missing complaint filed by Shraddha’s father. Initially he had attempted to dupe the police of Delhi and Mumbai in the initial days of the investigation. He also tried to eradicate any physical evidence how he had left the digital evidence that the police traced to reach the truth of the case.

“On May 18, there was a fight between the two regarding buying household items. They used to fight over who would bear the household expenses and bring items. Aftab got very angry about this. The quarrel started around 8 pm on May 18 when Aftab strangled Shraddha to death. He Kept her body in the room overnight and went to buy a knife and refrigerator the next day,” sources said.
