I have not killed her, everything happened in the heat of the moment,” Aftab Poonawala, accused of killing his partner Shraddha Walkar, told Saket court in Delhi on Tuesday. The court was hearing the Delhi police’s plea seeking to extend Poonawala’s custody. The police claimed they needed custody to corroborate his statement with a rough map found from his flat which may help recover more bones and even weapons. The court has extended police custody for four more days.
Delhi police claimed that they needed Poonawala’s custody to connect the chain of events in the case. They further claimed that the bones they have found so far are Walkar’s even as the Forensic Science Laboratory is yet to issue a report in the matter. Investigating Officer Ram Singh claimed more body parts and bones as well as the weapons used can be recovered on the basis of a disclosure by the accused. “It is further submitted that a rough site plan has been found at the house of the accused which may assist in a further search. It is lastly submitted that custodial interrogation of the accused would be required to connect the chain of events of the crime,” the court order mentioned.
