"He Threatens To Cut Me Into Pieces": Shraddha Walkar Told Cops In 2020 Complaint

She had written the complaint to the cops after he beat her up at a flat they shared, and that his family knew about his violent behaviour

Shraddha Walkar, who was allegedly killed by her boyfriend Aaftab Poonawala, her body chopped up into pieces, and dumped in a jungle in Delhi, had feared as much two years ago in a complaint to the police in their hometown Vasai in Maharashtra, investigators today said. 

She had written the complaint to the cops after he beat her up at a flat they shared, and said that his family knew about his violent behaviour, Delhi police claim to have found. The police are now verifying this complaint and any action taken by the Vasai cops.

The letter of November 23, 2020, ties into what she had told her friends and a co-worker over WhatsApp and Instagram around the same time, when she had also shared a photo of her bruised face with them. Her chats with friends mentioned her having gone to the cops and Aaftab moving out after his parents' intervention. She had also been admitted to a hospital a week later with "internal injuries". 

But the couple, who'd met over a dating app and got into a relationship around 2019, apparently did not break up, even though the 2020 complaint says he'd been assaulting and "blackmailing" her "for six months" with threats of murder.
