New Delhi:

Aaftab Poonawala has not confessed to murdering his partner Shraddha Walkar in court, his lawyer said today.

“He is cooperating with the Delhi Police but he has not confessed in court. He has not confessed that he murdered Shraddha,” Aaftab’s court-appointed lawyer Avinash Kumar said in an exclusive interview to NDTV.

Aaftab Poonawala is accused of strangling Shraddha Walkar at the Delhi apartment they shared in May, cutting up her body into 35 pieces and scattering the parts across the city.

Aaftab “wants to tell everything to Delhi Police”, said Mr Kumar.
