New Delhi: Police has made a major breakthrough in the Shraddha Walkar murder case. The DNA extracted from some of the bones recovered from forests in Mehrauli and Gurugram has matched the DNA of Shraddha's father, Delhi Police confirmed on Thursday.
The senior officers, probing the heinous murder case of Sharddha Walkar by her live-in partner Aaftab Poonawala, believe that the findings will be crucial to the investigation.
Poonawala, who has been arrested based on his confession of killing Walkar and chopping her body into 35 pieces to dispose it of, was arrested last month and is currently lodged in Tihar jail.
On December 9, he was produced before a court via video conferencing and his judicial custody was further extended by 14 days.
A total of 13 decomposed bones and part of a jaw were collected from the Mehrauli forest and were believed to be of the 27-year-old woman. (with Agency inputs)
