He was produced before the court via video conferencing. Additional Sessions Judge Vrinda Kumari said the court received an intimation from Poonawala through email that the bail application was moved by mistake. However, when the court asked him whether the bail plea should be pending, Poonawala said: "I would like that the counsel talks to me and then withdraw the bail plea."

His bail plea is likely to be heard on Saturday (December 17). The court on December 9 extended Poonawalla's judicial custody for 14 days.Delhi Police had submitted before the court that the investigation was in progress and requested for extension of his judicial custody.

The Delhi Police teams investigating the case had recovered 13 bone pieces after Aaftab told the investigators that he chopped her body into several pieces and dumped them into the forest area.The bone samples were sent for DNA analysis to the Central Forensic Science Laboratory.

Poonawalla, who killed his live-in partner Shraddha on May 18 and then chopped her body into 35 pieces, is currently lodged in Tihar Jail. On November 26, he was sent to a 13-day judicial custody by the court. On December 2, Poonawalla's narco test got over. It was conducted by Forensic Science Laboratory officials inside the prison.

Sources said that jail officials will provide Aaftab the same soon. Aaftab is lodged in jail No. 4. As per sources, food is being served to Aaftab only in the presence of police. He is also under the radar of officials throughout day and night and a security guard is also stationed outside his cell.

The test was successful and provided several clues to the investigators, they added. Aaftab was taken to Ambedkar hospital around 8.30 a.m. for his narco test, which started around 10 a.m and ended at 12.30 p.m, they said. His polygraph test at the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in Rohini ended on Tuesday.

"Polygraph test report of Aaftab will be submitted within two days and his narco test is expected to presented either on Thursday or Friday. After narco test, it is up to the investigators to demand brain mapping after they do not get answers expected by the accused," said a Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) source.

The video of the incident also went viral on social media, in which a woman, whose face is half-covered with blue coloured 'chunni', can be seen addressing a gathering. A few moments later, she suddenly takes out her slipper and starts thrashing the man standing beside her.

However, the van exited safely and the people who were also pelting stones were stopped by the police. Further details are awaited. Meanwhile, the FSL officials conducted the polygraph test on Aaftab for nearly seven hours on Monday. Sanjeev Gupta, Deputy Director, FSL, said the polygraph test is likely to continue further.

Shraddha's ring that Aaftab had gifted to another girl whom he invited to his flat after killing her, has also been found, they said. Two days ago, the investigators had contacted a woman, who Aaftab met through the mobile dating application 'Bumble', the same platform where he had first met Shraddha. The woman is a psychologist by profession.
