The peaceful march was led by Shraddha’s father Vikas and his friends, relatives as well as neighbours. People were seen carrying various placards
BJP leader Kirit Somaiya also joined the peaceful march holding a big placard. Somaiya was seen walking beside Shraddha's father Vikas Walkar
Shraddha's father Vikas said, 'we demand strict action against the police officers whose delayed action gave sufficient time to Poonawala to destroy vital pieces of evidence in this horrible case. It has been one year, and I am yet to conduct the last rituals of my daughter'
Poonawala had chopped Shraddha’s body into 35 pieces on May 18 last year. But the horrendous crime surfaced only after her father registered a missing person’s complaint at Manikpur police station in August
Aftab was arrested by Delhi police on November 11. The Delhi Police have managed to recover only 13 pieces of Shraddha’s body parts which were scattered in the nearby forest area of Mehrauli in South Delhi
