The sordid details of murders that have surfaced recently in the country draw parallels with the gruesome killing of 27-year-old Shraddha Walker in Delhi earlier this month. Whether it is the suspected case of honour killing in Badarpur where the father allegedly killed his daughter and dumped her body in a suitcase on the Yamuna Expressway or the dismembering of the body of an ex-Navy officer by his wife and son, the tales of horror point at the savage mind of the criminal.
In Delhi’s Mehrauli murder case, Aaftab Poonawala is undergoing a polygraph test after he allegedly confessed that he killed her live-in partner Shraddha “in the heat of the moment” and that it was not “deliberate”. The police have also found a complaint letter, purportedly of Shraddha, which she wrote in 2020, where she had mentioned threat to her life from Aaftab, and said she feared that he will “cut her into pieces”.
Let’s look at the gruesome murders that took place in the country recently:
