The delay in the completion of the test has also put off Poonawala's narco test, which was earlier scheduled to be held today.
Even as the police investigation into the sensational Shraddha Walkar murder case is underway, shocking revelations continue to emerge. Aaftab Poonwala, Shraddha’s live-in partner who allegedly killed her and dismembered her body, is undergoing the polygraph test, which could not be completed on Wednesday.
Here are the top updates on the big story
Aaftab undergoes polygtraph test
Aaftab Poonawala, accused of killing his live-in partner Shraddha Walkar and dismembering her body, on Thursday underwent the second session of the polygraph test at the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in Delhi’s Rohini. The test could not be conducted on Wednesday as the 28-year-old was down with a fever and cold.
The polygraph test will continue for 6 to 8 hours. The police will determine if murder was pre-planned. The delay in the completion of the test has also put off Poonawala's narco test, which was earlier scheduled to be held today.
The Polygraph test records physiological phenomena such as blood pressure, pulse rate and respiration, and the data is used to determine whether the person is speaking the truth.
The narco analysis, on the other hand, involves administering the individual medication which reduces their self-consciousness and allows them to speak freely.
Shraddha's 2020 complaint focus of probe
On November 23, 2020, call centre employee Shraddha Walkar complained to police in Maharashtra that her live-in partner Aaftab Poonawala, who is accused of brutally murdering her, tried to kill her and she feared he would cut her into pieces and throw her away. In her complaint to Tulinj police in Palghar, Walkar alleged that, "Poonawala has been abusing me and beating me up."
"Today, he tried to kill me by suffocating me and he scares and blackmails me that he will kill me, cut me up in pieces and throw me anyway. It's been six months he has been hitting me. But I did not have the guts to go to police because he would threaten to kill me," Walkar said in the complaint.
According to a report by The Indian Express, investigators in Delhi are set to expand their investigation to factor in this development. The report quoted sources saying they will reach out to their counterparts in Mumbai to ascertain what action was taken on her complaint, and also confront Aaftab with this information.
The newly emerged information in the sensational case has raised the question whether Aaftab allegedly killed Shraddha on May 18 in a “fit of rage” or whether it was a premeditated and well-thought action.
Amit Shah ensures 'strictest punishment' to Shraddha's killer
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said that the Delhi Police and the prosecution will ensure that Shraddha Walkar’s killer gets the strictest punishment at the earliest.
“I have my eye on the matter. The Delhi Police and the prosecution will ensure that whoever has committed the crime will get the strictest of punishments by the court,” Shah said at the Times Now Summit.
“The Delhi Police had no role in the letter (written by Shraddha in 2020) that has emerged. Shraddha had sent a letter to the police under the Maharashtra government that she was being threatened and that she would be killed and cut into pieces. Even after that, no action was taken. Yesterday, Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis said that there will be a probe into matter. Our government was not in power at the time, but strict action will be taken against whoever is responsible,” he added.
