Vikas Walkar, father of Shraddha Walkar - who was brutally killed by her live-in partner Aftab Poonawala in Delhi, met the newly-appointed commissioner of Mira Bhayandar Vasai Virar (MBVV) police Madhukar Pandey on Friday.

The meeting went on for around 40 minutes at the Police Commissioner's office in Mira Road. "I met the police commissioner and have requested him to conduct a thorough investigation into the November 2020 complaint letter of my daughter Shraddha who submitted it before Tulinj police station. Had the police acted swiftly on my daughter's written complaint against Poonawala, my daughter would have been alive," Walkar told media persons.
