Shraddha murder case: Delhi Police claim that a “saw-like device” was used

• Shraddha Walker was reportedly murdered by her live-in lover Aaftab Amin.
• Her corpse was sliced into 35 pieces with a saw-like tool.
• Hair and bones were retrieved from a woodland area in Mehrauli, South Delhi.

The findings from the autopsy of Shraddha Walker‘s bones, who was reportedly murdered by her live-in lover Aaftab Amin Poonawalla, revealed that her corpse was sliced into 35 pieces with a saw-like tool, according to Delhi Police on Saturday.

On January 4, the police stated that the hair and bones retrieved from a woodland area in Mehrauli, South Delhi, matched those of Shraddha.

The mitochondrial DNA report of the samples discovered in Mehrauli’s woodland region and forwarded for testing at the Centre for DNA Fingerprinting Diagnostic (CDFD) in Hyderabad matched that of the victim’s father and sibling, according to the Delhi Police.

The recent development in the case is thought to be incredibly significant since it will allow the police to charge Aaftab.

Previously, the authorities were concerned about the lack of scientific evidence of Shraddha’s body chopping because the weapon used for the purpose was unknown.

That was before the AIIMS in Delhi released its autopsy findings on the bone samples thought to be Shraddha’s.

The police are now preparing to file a charge sheet against the accused at Saket Court, along with the 164 recorded statements of witnesses, including over 50 friends of Shraddha.

According to the authorities, doctors at AIIMS Delhi discovered ‘very fine lines’ at the corners of the analyzed bones, indicating that her body was sliced with a sharp saw-like tool.

After slicing Shraddha’s body, Aaftab reportedly purchased a refrigerator to store the chopped pieces before disposing of the remains at various spots in and around Delhi at night for 18 days.

Previously, the police accused Aaftab of providing false replies to inquiries.

During the preliminary inquiry, it was discovered that Shraddha’s last known whereabouts were in Delhi, hence the matter was referred to the Delhi Police.

Aaftab and Shraddha were discovered to have relocated into a rented apartment in the Chhattarpur Pahadi area during the investigation.

During the course of their investigation, the police tracked down and apprehended Aftab.
