Aaftab planned to get rid of bigger body parts later: Cops

Aaftab Poonawala, accused of killing his live-in partner Shraddha Walker and chopping her body into 35 pieces, told police he disposed of some pieces of the body in the forest near his flat in May.

He had stored the bigger and bulkier parts like the head, torso and fingers of hands and feet in the fridge, planning to get rid of them later and elsewhere.

The main road is about 500 metres from the house. On one side of this road is the Aravalli mountain forest, spread over hundreds of kilometres across Delhi, Gurugram and Rajasthan.

The recovery of a CCTV footage from October, which confirms that Aftab was going to the forest area to dispose of the parts even five months after the murder, raises questions about whether Mumbai and Delhi cops moved quickly enough once they knew something was amiss.
