"Today he tried to kill me by suffocating me and he scares me and blackmails me that he will kill me, cut me up in pieces and throw me away," Shraddha wrote in the letter. "It's been 6 months he has been hitting me but I did not have the guts to go to the police because he would threaten to kill me," Shraddha wrote on November 23, 2020. The letter has reportedly been shared by Shraddha's neighbour in Vasai with whom Shraddha had gone to file the complaint, an ANI report said adding that Maharashtra Police confirmed the authenticity of the letter.

Shraddha's former colleague, Karan, earlier revealed that a complaint was filed by Shraddha against Aaftab but Shraddha did not proceed further after Aaftab's parents promised her that Aaftab would move out of the house.
Where are Aaftab's family members?
The Delhi Police on Wednesday recorded the statements of the family members who are now in Delhi. Two weeks before the case came to light, they shifted from Vasai to the outskirts of Mumbai. For the past few days, they remained untraceable.
