New Delhi: Aftaab Poonawala, accused of brutally killing live-in partner Shraddha Walkar, has moved a bail application in Delhi’s Saket Court. Poonawala is currently in judicial custody after a police interrogation in the murder. Aftaab’s bail plea will be heard tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Aftaab’s lawyers told the court that the probe in the matter has been completed by the investigating officer and since the trial will go on for long, it is not advisable for him to be in judicial custody. His advocates also informed the court that he is not safe in jail, News18 reported.

On Thursday, police claimed to have gathered some key evidence, saying the DNA samples extracted from the bones recovered from a forest area and from the blood traces found at the house where Shraddha Walkar was murdered have matched with samples of her father.

The report was received from CFSL (Central Forensic Science Laboratory), Lodhi Road, they said.

Lt Governor V K Saxena approved a proposal of Delhi Police to appoint two special public prosecutors — Madhukar Pandey and Amit Prasad — in the case.
