Shraddha murder: Autopsy of bones reveals use of saw-like object

The autopsy report of Shraddha Walkar’s bones, which were reportedly slain by her live-in lover Aaftab Amin Poonawalla

The autopsy report of Shraddha Walkar’s bones, which were reportedly slain by her live-in lover Aaftab Amin Poonawalla, found that her corpse was sliced into 35 pieces with a saw-like tool, according to Delhi Police on Saturday.

The police reported on January 4 that hair and bones retrieved from a woodland area in Mehrauli, South Delhi, matched Shraddha’s. The mitochondrial DNA report of the samples discovered in Mehrauli’s woodland region and forwarded for testing at the Centre for DNA Fingerprinting Diagnostic (CDFD) in Hyderabad matched those of the victim’s father and sibling, according to the Delhi Police.

The latest breakthrough in the case is seen to be incredibly significant since it will allow the police to prosecute Aaftab.

Previously, the police were concerned about the lack of scientific evidence of Shraddha’s body chopping, as well as the weapon used for the purpose.
