Mehrauli murder: Aftab looked confident, remorseless when quizzed earlier, say Maharashtra police

New Delhi, 16/11:Call centre employee Shraddha Walkar’s live-in-partner Aftab Poonawalla, accused of brutally murdering her in Delhi, had appeared confident with no trace of remorse on his face when Manikpur police in Maharashtra called him for questioning earlier this month, an official said.

After Walkar’s family members filed a missing person’s complaint when she was not traceable, the Manikpur police in Vasai town of Palghar called Poonawalla for questioning twice – last month and on November 3 – and on both the occasions he told the police that Walkar had left his place and they were not staying together, assistant police inspector Sampatrao Patil told PTI.

Poonawalla (28) has been arrested by the Delhi police for allegedly murdering Walkar, who had stayed in Vasai, in May this year, chopping the body into 35 pieces before dumping them at different places in the national capital over several days.
