Delhi Police on Saturday arrested Aftab the prime accused in the six-month-old Shraddha murder case. He has been sent to five-day police custody.

Meanwhile, a case has been registered against him under IPC sections 302 (Murder) and 201 (causing the disappearance of evidence of an offence committed).

As per reports, Aftab and Shraddha had an argument on May 18.

During the fight, Shraddha was shouting, therefore, in order to silence her and make sure their neighbours don’t listen, Aftab pressed her face, causing her to choke to death.

Aftab bought a refrigerator and stored the chopped body parts of the victim in it.

Later, he began dumping the body parts at various locations in and around Delhi at night.

Shraddha and Aftab used to work together at the same call centre in Mumbai, but the girl’s parents objected to their relationship.

They moved to Delhi and started living together in a rented home in the Chhatarpur area.

Shraddha regularly posted pictures on Facebook. But in September her friends informed her family that there was no contact with Shraddha for two months.

Her family got suspicious when they could see no posts of her on her Facebook account for a few months.

In November, Shraddha’s father Vikash Madan Walker visited the place where her daughter was staying with her live-in partner.
When her father visited, he found the place to be locked, so he filed a missing person report.

Following the complaint, police started an investigation and the accused was finally arrested.
