Shraddha murder case: Police vehicle carrying Aaftab Poonawala attacked
New Delhi, November 28: A police van carrying Aaftab Poonawala, accused in Shraddha Walkar murder case, was attacked in the national capital on Monday.
At least two men brandishing swords and claiming to be from the Hindu Sena attacked the police van. Poonawala was being guarded by at least five police officers outside the Forensic Science Laboratory in Rohini at the time of the incident.
He had a polygraph test earlier in the day at the FSL Laboratory.
Earlier, the FSL Director Sanjeev Gupta informed that the polygraph test of Aaftab may continue tomorrow as well.
"The Expert team is conducting polygraph tests. Today's session will be completed soon. We may need to continue the test tomorrow as well. Once our tests are completed, the Narco test will be conducted," he said.
The polygraph test held on Sunday could not be completed, despite Aaftab being taken to the FSL office for three days.
The first session of the polygraph test on Aaftab was deferred after his "ill health". The second session of the test, which was to be held on November 23, was also deferred after Poonawala reportedly "fell ill". The second and third sessions were conducted on November 25 and 26 respectively.
Aaftab is accused of strangling to death his live-in partner Shraddha and chopping her body into 35 pieces. He is also alleged to have preserved the chopped body parts in a refrigerator before dumping them in forested areas in Delhi and Gurugram.
Police had earlier said Aaftab, who confessed to killing Shraddha and chopping her body into 35 pieces, was giving misleading answers to questions.
Delhi Police had submitted in court that Aaftab was giving wrong information and was misleading the investigation
