Delhi police team reaches Mumbai for investigation

A team of Delhi Police officers has reached Vasai in the Palghar area of Maharashtra to investigate the sensational Shraddha Walker murder case.
The three-member team of Delhi police met with officials of the Manikpur police of Maharashtra and sought their assistance in the investigation of the case. The police team is likely to record the statements of friends of Aaftab and Shraddha, and also their mutual friends. “We are making a list of people, including relatives, friends, and mutual friends, with the help of Manikpur police to record their statements in connection to the case,” said a Delhi police officer.
The statements of their family members are also likely to be recorded, according to officials.
A team of senior officials of the Delhi Police is carrying out an investigation on various clues and angles to solve the Shraddha murder case allegedly perpetrated by her live-in partner, Aaftab Poonawalla.
The team is also conducting searches at Chhatarpur and nearby areas of Delhi for missing pieces of the victim’s body, including the skull.
The police, after arresting the accused on Friday, claimed that the accused was high on marijuana on the night of the incident and that an argument between him and the victim, Shraddha Walker, led to the latter’s killing.
The accused allegedly lingered beside her body all night and smoked marijuana, official sources with Delhi police said.
Official sources associated with the technical investigation cell of the Delhi police claimed that the police are trying to retrieve chats between Aaftab and Shraddha and others during the period of the crime.
The police may also request that social networking and messaging application platforms used by the accused share chat details, sources said.
