NEW DELHI: With nearly 100 testimonies, the Delhi Police have prepared a 3,000-page draft of the chargesheet in the horrific Shraddha Walkar murder case that sources said will most likely be submitted by month-end. According to sources, the draft contains testimonies of over 100 witnesses that the police recorded during the investigation for nearly three months.
Shraddha was allegedly strangled, chopped into several pieces, and disposed of at different locations of a forest area in south Delhi for several months by her live-in partner Aaftab Amin Poonawala. Sources said the draft chargesheet contains forensic reports viz. the DNA report along with digital and technical evidence to prove that Aaftab committed the crime.
Notably, the autopsy report of the body parts revealed that it was cut with some saw-like object, as was confessed by the accused. The police recovered 23 fragments of bones and sent them for DNA matching to Central Forensic Science Laboratory and for DNA Mitochondrial profiling to Hyderabad’s Centre for Fingerprinting and Diagnostics.
After the DNA match was confirmed, the police sent the bones to AIIMS for a post-mortem. The accused said that he dumped the weapon at an isolated place near his office in Gurugram but when the police found nothing after examining the area.
