Aftab Poonawala, who is accused of the murder of his girlfriend, Shraddha Walkar in Mehrauli is likely to undergo a narco test on November 28, sources said on Saturday.

The Delhi Police had earlier informed that the DNA test report of the victim’s body has not been received by the police. “DNA test report (of victim’s body parts) has not been received by the police”, said Sagar Preet Hooda, IPS, Special Commissioner of Police, Law and Order, Zone II.

Earlier on Friday, the Delhi Police confirmed that the polygraph test of Aaftab could not be conducted. However, before this he was subjected to another round of polygraph tests, which went on for nearly three hours at the Forensic Science Laboratory in Rohini, officials said.

Sagar Preet Hooda, Special CP (Law & Order) Delhi Police, said, “Polygraph test of the accused Aaftab Amin in Mehrauli police station case FIR No 659/22 under section 365/302/201 IPC could not be held today”.

Delhi Police is probing the Shraddha Walkar, 26, murder case in which she was strangulated to death by her live-in partner Aaftab, 28, on May 18, chopping her body into multiple pieces and storing them in a fridge. He allegedly dumped the body parts in the Chhatarpur forest area over a period of three months.

Delhi Police has taken DNA samples of Shraddha’s father Vikas Walkar on November 16, so that the dumped body parts and blood sample can be matched.

Delhi Police has also confirmed that during the course of the investigation, blood stains were found in the kitchen of accused Aftab Amin Poonawalla’s flat in Delhi’s Chhatarpur. The blood samples were sent for examination to ascertain whose blood it was.

Notably, the Delhi Police solved the six-month-old blind murder case and arrested Aftab on the basis of Shraddha’s father’s complaint. Delhi Police received a complaint from Shraddha’s father and registered an FIR on November 10.
