Saket Court asked to get narco test done on Shraddha murder case accused Aftab Poonawalla within five days

Delhi's Saket Court has asked Aftab Poonawala, accused in the Shraddha murder case, to undergo a narco test within five days. Court has ordered Rohini Forensic Science Lab to do narcotics within 5 days. During this, the court has also ordered that third degree should not be used on the accused Aftab, when the narco test of an accused is done, then his consent is also necessary. When Aftab was asked in the court that he was ready to undergo the narco test? Then his answer was, 'I give my consent.'

Delhi Police had demanded 28-year-old Aftab's narco test from the court, he was produced in the court through video conferencing. Officials probing the case said this was necessary as he was changing his statements and was not cooperating in the investigation into Shraddha's brutal murder. Poonawalla's lawyer Avinash Kumar said that Metropolitan Magistrate Vijayashree Rathore allowed the police to conduct a narco test, also known as truth serum test. The police filed the application after his arrest on 12 November.

The accused, Aftab Poonawalla, had allegedly strangulated 27-year-old Shraddha Walker and cut her body into 35 pieces on May 18, which he kept in a 300-litre fridge for nearly three weeks at his residence in south Delhi's Mehrauli and then Tossed across town at midnight. Police sources said that the saw was allegedly bought from a shop on the Mehrauli-Gurgaon road.

Police sources said investigators may seek help from other police districts in Delhi and take Poonawalla to places like Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand to establish the sequence of events leading to Walker's murder. Sources said that after leaving Mumbai, Walker and Poonawalla traveled to several places and the police would visit these places along with the accused to ascertain if anything happened in those visits leading up to the murder.
