Went to meet Aaftab's kin to discuss marriage but his brother didn't let us in: Shraddha's dad

As new revelations on the assault that murder victim Shraddha Walkar faced surface, her father Vikas on Saturday revealed his wife's deteriorating health had compelled them to meet her accused boyfriend Aaftab Poonawala's family in Vasai in December 2019 but his younger brother, Asad, did not allow them to even enter their home. Shraddha's mother passed away a month later in January 2020.

Vikas has also expressed surprise at the sudden move of Aaftab's family from Vasai, raising doubts in his mind of their "possible knowledge of the crime". Aaftab's family had moved from their Diwanman home in Vasai (West) two weeks before the murder came to light on November 11.

Aaftab had helped them shift out.
