New Delhi, Nov 17: Aaftab Ameen Poonawala, the man suspected of brutally killing his live-in partner, said to the police that he burned Shraddha’s face after dismembering her body to hide her identify.
According to officials with the Delhi Police, Aaftab also admitted to looking up methods of disposing of a body after a murder on the internet.
According to the authorities, Aaftab cut his companion into several pieces, kept them in a refrigerator, and then dumped the pieces in a forest over the course of 16 days.
Earlier this week, information about the gruesome murder came to light. Aaftab was detained by police after they filed a case against him and forced a confession out of him. However, the accused continually revising his allegations, due to which investigators are having difficulty in finding the relevant evidence.
Poonawala, who was born and raised in Mumbai, eloped with Shraddha earlier this year when her parents disapproved of their interfaith relationship. In the Chhatarpur district of the capital, the couple had rented a home.
Shraddha’s friends and relatives claim that the two used to argue frequently about getting married. Aaftab killed her on May 18 after a heated argument between them. He bought a saw and a 300-liter refrigerator the following day.
After cutting her body into 35 pieces with a saw and bagging them in polythene, Aaftab kept the pieces of her body in the refrigerator. He would go out in the middle of the night for the next few days to bury the corpse in Mehrauli’s forest.
