The family of Aftab Amin Poonawalla, an accused in the Shraddha Walker murder case, has fled to an unknown location and is now untraceable, the Manikpur police station in Maharashtra said on Wednesday.
A senior Delhi police officer told ANI that since there are multiple discrepancies in Aftab's statement, there is a possibility that police teams investigating this case will request his mental and psycho-assessment test.
Accused in the horrific Shraddha Walker murder case, Aftab Amin Poonawalla who was arrested recently had attempted to dupe the police of Delhi and Mumbai in the initial days of the investigation.
According to the sources, the police are likely to call the victim's father for DNA testing after which the blood sample and bone sample will be sent to Forensic Light Source (FLS) for matching. The FSL will then conduct a DNA test.
According to the sources, the Delhi Police wants to ascertain if any of the women Aftab dated on the app could be a possible reason behind Shraddha's alleged murder.
Friends of Shraddha Walker, the girl from Maharashtra who was allegedly killed by her live-in partner in Delhi, have narrated their side of the story, painting a picture of Shraddha as they knew her.
