👍The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) on Monday issued a notice to city police asking it to submit by November 18 action taken report in the 29-year-old woman's murder allegedly by her live-in partner in Delhi.

🧔Accused Aftab Ameen Poonawala (28) allegedly chopped Shraddha Walkar's body into 35 pieces, kept them in a refrigerator for almost three weeks and dumped them in various parts of Delhi over several days.

🦋Details of the killing and its grisly aftermath came to light almost six months later with Poonawala's arrest, officials said.

🔥Some chopped body parts have been found and police are looking for the murder weapon, they said.

𒉰The officials said Poonawala bought a 300-litre fridge to keep the severed body parts and used incense sticks and room freshners to suppress the foul smell emanating from the corpse.

🃏Poonawala and Walkar fell in love while working at a call centre in Mumbai. But since their families objected to the relationship, they moved to South Delhi's Mehrauli earlier this year, according to police.

🀅The DCW has also sought from the Delhi Policy a copy of the FIR along with other details in the case.

🎶The commission has told the police that it also wanted to know whether Walkar had filed any complaint of harassment, domestic violence or sexual abuse against her partner.

✨The Delhi Police has been asked to submit the report by November 18.
