The Delhi Police on Monday announced they found a new audio clip, in which Aftab Ameen Poonawalla, the main and only suspect in the Shraddha Walkar murder case, could be heard fighting with her.
The audio clip is being considered “big evidence”, while police say that it will go a long way in establishing the actual motives behind the gruesome murder.
Meanwhile, a forensics team from India's Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) collected Poonawalla's voice sample on the order of Delhi's Saket court. Police filed a request in the court seeking permission to record Poonawala's voice on December 22.
The authorities are now going to match the voice sample with the newly procured audio clip to make fresh breakthroughs in the case.
The Saket court while approving the police’s request to obtain Poonawalla’s voice sample also extended his judicial custody by 14 days.
Poonawalla allegedly dismembered the body of his 26-year-old girlfriend in May this year to keep her in a refrigerator for weeks at his residence in South Delhi's Mehrauli area. Eventually, he allegedly disposed of the body parts by scattering them across Delhi.
The case saw the light of the day only after Walkar’s father filed a police complaint in Maharashtra state this October.
