Until now, 10 to 13 bones have been recovered from the forest.
The blood samples obtained from Aftab’s kitchen have been sent
to the forensic lab for examination and have been confirmed to
belong to Shraddha. The DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) sample
of Shraddha’s father was taken for reference. Police are searching
for CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) footage in order to check
whether Aftab received any help from outside and to corroborate
his statements. Shraddha’s phone, her skull, and the murder weap-
on are yet to be found. Forensic analysis of the bones found so
far revealed that they belonged to Shraddha. The clothes worn by
Shraddha and Aftab were thrown in the civil garbage and are yet
to be found. The forensic science laboratory in Rohini submitted
Aftab’s narco-analysis test report where he confessed that it was a
pre-planned murder. The autopsy report reveals that she was dis-
membered using a saw.
Even though the case is only 80% complete to date, justice should
be served to Shraddha Walker. According to the reports, Aftab is
lodged at Tihar jail number 4 and is kept in a separate cell for se-
curity reasons which will be monitored 24 hours through CCTV
cameras.
