A blood-curdling crime has been solved by the Delhi Police where a man named Aftab was arrested for slaughtering a woman named Shraddha who is believed to have been his live-in partner.
According to reports, Aftab Ameen Poonawalla and Shraddha were living in Delhi’s Mehrauli area. Both of them worked together at a call centre in Mumbai. He got to her thorugh a dating app. The two started dating and moved in to live together. Since Shraddha’s family did not approve of the relationship, the couple eloped to Delhi.
Aftab strangled the 26-year-old Sharddha on 18 May 2022, following a heated argument as she had asked him to marry her. He then dismembered her body with a sharp weapon into 35 pieces and bought a fridge to store them. He then threw the butchered body parts at 18 different locations in Delhi over the next 18 days. To avoid being caught, he reportedly left the house in the wee hours carrying 1-2 body parts in a plastic bag.
Since there was neither any communication from Shraddha nor updates on her social media accounts, her concerned father came to Delhi to check her flat which was found locked. He then filed a missing person complaint with the Mumbai police and also told them about his daughter’s relationship with Aftab whom he suspected to be behind her disappearance. Her last location was found to be in Delhi.
In a statement, the Delhi police said that the Mehrauli Police has solved the six-month-old case and arrested Aftab for killing Shraddha, chopping her into pieces and disposing them.
Ironically, Aftab on his social media had shared posts positioning him as a champion of women and gay rights.

The news of this incident has sent shockwaves across the nation. However, a few leftist media outlets have been trying to secularize the incident to hide the identity of the perpetrator.
Times of India which had initially publised a report with the title “Delhi’s interfaith love: Shraddha’s body cut into piece by Aftab“. However, it was subsequently changed to “Man chops live-in partner into 35 pieces, dumps them in Delhi forest“.

Another leftist mainstream news outlet NDTV carried a headline “Man Killed Partner In Delhi, Dumped Body Pieces At 2 am For 18 Days: Cops“.
India Today identified the perpetrator as “Indian predator”.
