Aftab Poonawala’s father Amin is currently under the scanner of Delhi police in connection with the brutal murder of Shraddha Walkar. Sources said that cops are checking if Amin had visited his son at his rented flat in Mehrauli, Delhi, between May and October. The probe into his role in the crime started after it was revealed that Amin was in constant touch with Aftab and that he was also aware that his son used to beat up Walkar even when they lived in Vasai.

Sources close to Amin told mid-day that he works with a Mumbai-based tile dealer as a salesman. “His mother earns as a hena (mehendi) artist working from their home. Aftab belongs to a middle class family,” said the source.
