Delhi Live-In Partner Murder: How Killer Was Caught Via Bank App And Instagram
NDTV
Bank transfer from victim Shraddha Walkar's phone to killer Aftab Poonawala, her Instagram chat history and mobile location helped cops crack the case
How did Aftab Poonawala, the man who allegedly killed his live-in partner Shraddha Walkar and cut her into pieces that he scattered in a jungle six months ago, finally get arrested for murder? Police said he'd built a trail of Instagram chats and bank payments to project that she'd left on her own, but that trail led to him instead.
At first, after Shraddha Walkar's father went to the police in Vasai near Mumbai last month, Aftab Poonawala was called for questioning on October 26. He told the cops that she had left their home in Chhatarpur in Delhi's Mehrauli area after a quarrel on May 22.
He'd already murdered her four days before that, it was later discovered. This was barely two weeks after they'd moved to Delhi.
When he said she'd taken only her mobile phone — leaving clothes and other belongings behind — investigators tracked the phone activity, call details and signal location.
