A doctor who treated Shraddha Walkar in 2020 has revealed that Aaftab Amin Poonawala was present when Shraddha was admitted to the hospital for severe pain in her shoulder and back. The 26-year-old woman was killed by her live-in partner Aaftab on May 18 in their flat in Chhatarpur in Delhi. The heinous murder came to light six months later after Shraddha's father filed a missing complaint.
Dr SP Shinde who treated Shraddha in Nalasopara's Ozone Multispeciality Hospital in 2020 said there was no extreme injury but Shraddha complained of severe pain in the shoulder and the back – the reason for which was not disclosed by her. The doctor recalled seeing Aaftab at the time of hospital admission but none of Shraddha's family members was there, Dr Shinde said to news agency ANI.
According to revelations made by Shraddha Walkar's friends, Shraddha and Aaftab were in a relationship since 2018, but Shraddha told her friends about Aaftab only in 2019. In the course of dating, they started living together. Shraddha's parents were against the relationship
Though the relationship was a happy one in the beginning, as revealed by Shraddha's friends, it turned bitter as Shraddha confided in her friends that Aaftab beat her and that she wanted to leave him. As the investigation is going on, a three-member team of the Delhi Police reached Vasai and met the officials of the Manikpur police of Maharashtra.
