According to sources, the police van was transporting Poonawala back to jail from the Forensic Science Laboratory in west Delhi after his second polygraph test.

Digital Desk: This evening, a group of men wielding swords attacked a police van carrying Aaftab Amin Poonawala, who is accused of the horrific murder of girlfriend Shraddha Walkar in Delhi. According to sources, the police were able to maintain control of the situation, and Poonawala is safe.

The Hindu Sena, a right-wing group, has claimed responsibility for the attack. The entire country is "watching how Aftab cut a Hindu girl into pieces," according to the organization's National President, Vishnu Gupta.

According to sources, the police van was transporting Poonawala back to jail from the Forensic Science Laboratory in west Delhi after his second polygraph test.

The assault occurred outside the FSL building.

According to sources, the men blocked the police van by parking their car in front of it. Then five men charged at the van, brandishing swords. The cops, according to sources, drew their weapons and countered.

There were no injuries, and two of the attackers were apprehended. They identified themselves as Nigam Gujjar and Kuldeep Thakur, and stated that they lived in Gurugram. They also claimed to be members of the Hindu Sena, which is being investigated by the police.

Poonawala claims he murdered Shraddha during an argument. After storing the body in a refrigerator for days, he cut it into 35 pieces and disposed of them in various parts of Delhi. Less than 20 parts have been recovered and DNA tests have been performed.

In court, he also admitted to the murder, but it did not count as evidence because the proceedings were about extending his police remand.

The results of the subsequent polygraph test or narco-analysis are also inadmissible in court.

There are no primary witnesses in this case. Currently, the police have only circumstantial evidence of the heinous crime that has shocked the nation.

Poonawala is being held in Tihar's jail number 4 under 24-hour video surveillance.
