Shraddha Walker Murder Case

Official sources said that a pre-medical session to gain some preliminary information which will be later used to develop diagnostic questions, as well as a scientic session was conducted on Aftab at the FSL office on Tuesday evening. "However, the main polygraph test which will involve a questionnaire prepared by the Delhi Police investigators will most likely be taken up on Wednesday."

The officials from FSL, as per protocol, also went to the court on Tuesday to verify the order of the copy for polygraph test. In the court, the judge allowed police to go ahead with the polygraph test to unravel the truth, while another court extended Aftab's police custody by four more days.

In the video that is now viral on social media, Rashid can be heard saying that "when one is in a fit of rage, he can cut anyone into 36 pieces, instead of just 35." When asked whether he was justifying the murder, Rashid says that 'It happens'. "If I am in a rage, I may also behave similarly," he says.

"I was provoked because of which I hit," said Poonawalla in Saket court where he was produced before a metropolitan magistrate through video conferencing as his police custody ends on Tuesday, claimed his lawyer. The court extended his police custody by four more days.

"We again went to the Mehrauli forest and have recovered base of a skull, parts of jaw and bones. After recovering the remains, we have sent them to a forensic lab to get a proper report," a source told IANS. The police team also went to a pond in Maidangarhi to search for remains after its water level was reduced. The source also said that accused Aftab Amin Poonawala, confessed during the interrogation, that he burnt pictures of Walkar after murdering her.

A crime of passion', you may have heard of the term but you may not be sure what that means in a legal sense. In simple terms a crime of passion or  crime passionnel' derived from French refers to a violent crime, particularly homicide, in which the culprit executes the act against someone out of a strong grudge, such as sudden passion, rather than as a premeditated crime.

The police claimed that the rented accommodation, the place of offence, is being closely inspected by the crime team and forensic experts. From the house where Aftab killed Shraddha on May 18 and the chopped up her body into 35 pieces, multiple items have been seized already. "Following up on the disclosures by Aftab, various combing operations have been carried out at various places, including some forest areas, from where bones were recovered," a senior police official said.

Shraddha, who was beaten up and strangled to death and then chopped into 35 pieces by Aftab, had conversations with her friends and a co-worker either on WhatsApp or Instagram. She had told them that she has been physically assaulted by Aftab since the beginning of their relationship.

Sources said that the investigators suspect that Aftab Ameen Poonawalla might have disposed of some more body parts of his live-in partnerin the forest area while coming to his office. Aftab, who was arrested on November 12 for the brutal murder of Walkar, used to work in C-Vent, an IT company in Gurugram. Meanwhile, police teams have also initiated technical surveillance and are scanning text message echanged between Shraddha and Aftab.

Poonawalla was produced virtually before the Saket district court after the court took note of the threats to his life and security reasons. A large group of lawyers protested outside a courtroom demanding the death penalty for the accused. On Wednesday, the court approved a narco test of Poonawalla on Delhi Police's submission that he was not cooperating in the investigation.
