According to ANI the Delhi police has recovered Shraddha Walkar's ring which Aftab Poonawala had given to another girl whom he invited after killing Walkar on May 18, 2022. 


What is the Shraddha Walkar murder case? 


On November 11, Aftab Ameen Poonawala was arrested for murdering his live-in partner and chopping off her body into 35 pieces before dumping them at various locations across the capital. 


He reportedly strangled 26-year-old Shraddha on May 18 and then chopped her body into 35 pieces. He then bought a new fridge to store the body pieces and threw them at various locations over a period of 18 days. 


To avoid any suspicion, he reportedly used to leave the house with a body part in a polybag at around 2 am.
The matter came to light on November 8, when the missing woman's father, a resident of Maharashtra's Palghar, approached Delhi Police after she stopped responding to calls.


On the basis of his complaint, the police launched an investigation and traced Aftab. During questioning, he confessed to the crime and said that they often fought as Shraddha was pressurizing him for marriage. 


The deceased worked at a call centre in Mumbai and met Aftab there. They then started dating and moved in together. However, her family did not approve of their relationship following which the couple eloped to Delhi and lived in the Mehrauli area.


A case has been registered against the accused under relevant sections of IPC including murder, and the police were further looking into it.
