Shradha murder case: Abusive relationship ended in death

Girl was murdered in May in Delhi…

 Shraddha Walkar age 27, a Vasai resident, who was murdered allegedly by her live-in partner Aaftab Poonawala (28) in Delhi.

She wanted to break up with him because he “mentally tortured her and physically assaulted her several times.”

But still she continued their relationship as he emotionally blackmailed her and said he would die by suicide if she leaves him, her close friends told The Indian Express.

Shraddha was murdered in May this year in Delhi, she told a close friend over the phone that they have “almost broken up” and she is finding a new place for herself in Delhi.

Her friend told The Indian Express, “They were in a live-in relationship since 2019 but it was a very turbulent one, as he assaulted her several times.

Their natures were completely different; it was a case of opposites attract.

Finally, they decided to give it a last shot and went to Himachal Pradesh this year for a trip.

Even there, they were having fights and Shraddha had told us she had decided to break up and their relationship was towards end.

After the Himachal Pradesh trip, they decided to spend some time in Delhi and I think she was waiting for May 16, which was their anniversary.”

As per Manikpur police in Vasai, Shraddha was a Bachelor of Mass Media (BMM) graduate, was working in a call centre in Malad and met Aaftab through a dating app, in 2019.
