As investigation into the gruesome murder of Shraddha Walkar continues, Delhi Police today launched a search for the victim's head in a pond in the city's Mehrauli area.
According to sources, Shraddha's boyfriend and the alleged killer, Aftab Poonawala, told the investigating team that he had dumped his girlfriend's dismembered head in a pond.
Following the sensational disclosure, a team of officers from Delhi Police, along with personnel from Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), today started emptying out the water from a Mehrauli pond.
Shraddha and Aftab had moved to Delhi from Mumbai in May this year and were live-in partners at a rented apartment in Chhatarpur.
Following an argument over expenses and infidelity, Aftab reportedly strangled Shraddha to death. He later cut up her body into 35 pieces and kept them in a fridge at their apartment, before disposing them of in a jungle in Mehrauli over 18 days, police had said.
