    Digital Desk: Aaftab Poonawala, the man accused of killing his live-in partner Shraddha Walker, used to put makeup on the woman's severed head, a police source has quoted. The man had chopped the woman's body into 35 pieces, which he then placed in a refrigerator he had brought just for the purpose. He also kept the head inside the appliance.


    Poonawala, a call centre employee and Instagram food blogger, is currently in police custody. Reportedly, he has admitted to the police that he talked with the severed head and put makeup on it. However, the police have made no official statements about this.


    They claimed that cunning Aaftab is attempting to demonstrate his insanity by making these bizarre confessions. They stated that it appears to be a well-planned tactic to avoid a harsher sentence from the court.


    The cops are roaming across Delhi with the suspects in search of the deceased body parts. They have so far found twelve parts. However, the murder weapon and the severed head are missing.

    The police suspect that the man is attempting to mislead the police.


    Aaftab and Walkar had travelled to Himachal Pradesh in April when they met a man from Delhi. Before renting their own home in the city's Mehrauli area, they stayed at his house in Chhattarpur. Aaftab allegedly murdered her three days after moving in on May 18, while she was pressuring them to marry.

    Reportedly, they used to fight as she suspected that he was having an affair with another lady.


    After the murder, Aaftab stored the chopped body inside the fridge.  He reportedly took a girlfriend to the same flat days after the murder and had sex there. He met her through a dating site.


    Shraddha and Poonawala had met through a dating app in Mumbai. They started dating. However, the relationship was not supported by their families. She was not on good terms with her family, which is why her murder went unnoticed for six months.


    Vikas Walkar, Shraddha's father, has accused Poonawala of engaging in "love jihad."
