New
Delhi,
Dec
23:
The
Forensic
Science
Laboratory
(FSL)
in
Rohini
on
Friday
submitted
the
narco
test
report
of
Aftab
Amin
Poonawala
in
connection
with
the
Shraddha
Walkar
murder
case,
officials
said.

According
to
them,
the
narco
test’s
report
was
ready
and
it
was
later
handed
over
to
the
case’s
investigating
officer.
Police
said
according
to
the
Central
Forensic
Science
Laboratory
(CFSL)
report,
the
blood
samples
recovered
from
Poonawala’s
house
were
of
Walkar’s.
During
the
investigation,
police
had
collected
the
blood
samples
from
Poonawala’s
Mehrauli
flat
and
sent
those
for
examination.

On
December
15,
police
had
said
the
DNA
samples
extracted
from
the
bones
found
in
a
forest
area
and
the
blood
traces
found
at
the
house
where
Walkar
was
killed
had
matched
with
the
samples
of
her
father.
The
evidence
comes
more
than
a
month
after
Poonawala
was
arrested
for
allegedly
killing
Walkar,
his
live-in
partner.
Police
had
found
13
bone
pieces
from
the
Mehrauli
forest
and
its
nearby
areas
while
searching
for
her
body
parts.

Walkar
(27)
was
allegedly
strangled,
her
body
chopped
into
35
pieces
and
disposed
of
in
various
parts
of
Delhi
by
Poonawala.
The
report
of
Poonawala’s
polygraph
test
has
already
been
submitted
to
police
by
the
FSL.
According
to
police
sources,
the
DNA
evidence
will
prove
to
be
a
critical
evidence
in
the
case.

“The
DNA
reports
confirm
that
it
was
indeed
Shraddha
Walkar
who
was
killed.
We
collected
samples
from
her
father
and
brother
after
the
incident
came
to
light,”
a
source
had
said.

The
investigating
officer
had
said
the
statements
that
Poonawala
gave
during
his
polygraph
and
narco
analysis
tests
and
the
police
interrogation
were
the
same.
Police
are
yet
to
find
Walkar’s
mobile
phone,
which
the
accused
allegedly
dumped
somewhere.
Poonawala
is
lodged
at
the
Tihar
jail
and
has
been
provided
with
Paul
Theroux’s
railway
odyssey,
“The
Great
Railway
Bazaar”,
following
his
request.
The
court
sent
him
to
judicial
custody
for
13
days
on
November
26.

On
Friday,
it
extended
Poonawala’s
judicial
custody
by
14
days
till
December
23.
After
allegedly
strangulating
Walkar
on
May
18,
Poonawala
sawed
her
body
into
35
pieces
and
kept
those
in
a
300-litre
refrigerator
for
almost
three
weeks
at
his
residence
before
dumping
those
across
the
city
over
several
days.
