Shraddha Walkar’s Father Suspects Police Hiding Something Says, “Aaftab’s Parents Should Be Questioned, Nobody Knows Where They Are”

Vikas Walkar, the father of Shraddha Walkar who was allegedly killed by her live-in partner Aaftab Amin Poonawala, on Tuesday demanded the latter’s parents be questioned in connection with his daughter’s murder.

If the involvement of Poonawala’s parents is found in the case, then action should be taken against them, Vikas Walker told the media.

He also demanded the case be fast-tracked and Poonawala hanged, instead of waiting for a number of years like in the Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case.

According to the chargesheet filed in the case, Poonawala allegedly strangled Shraddha Walkar on May 18 last year and sawed her body into several pieces, which he kept in a refrigerator for almost three weeks at his residence in south Delhi’s Mehrauli.

Vikas Walker said he recently met officials of the Vasai police in Maharashtra’s Palghar district, where he lives, and asked about the case and Poonawala’s parents.

The police said that they were not aware of Poonawala’s parents, he claimed.

“As I know, the statements of his parents in the case have not been recorded and I don’t know where they are. They should be brought to the front and questioned,” he said

Vikas Walker also demanded that the trial against Poonawala be fast-tracked.

“Aaftab should be hanged after a speedy trial, I don’t want to wait for years to get justice,” he said adding that in the case of Nirbhaya, her family had to wait for seven years to get justice.

Vikas Walker also demanded that his daughter’s remains be handed over to him within a year of her death to perform the last rites.

“I want that Shraddha’s remains should be handed over to me at the earliest, but police are saying they will hand over them to me after the legal process as charges are yet to be framed and the identification of the remains is yet to be conducted,” he said.

The Delhi Police filed a 6,629-page chargesheet in the case on January 24.
