Speaking to the media for the first time about his daughter’s gruesome murder by her live-in partner, Vikas Walkar demanded death penalty for Aftab Poonawala and restrictions on dating apps, as Shraddha had met him through one. He wants the police to probe whether Aftab’s family was involved in Shraddha’s murder.
Poonawala allegedly murdered Shraddha at their rented flat in Delhi, chopped her body into dozens of pieces and threw them across forest areas nearby. Although he claims to have killed her on May 18, police are investigating to ascertain the exact date of murder.
