Why Aftab introduced himself as Shraddha husband in Hospital?

In the year 2020, Shraddha Walkar was admitted to Nalasopara Hospital in Mumbai for three days due to suspicions of internal injuries.

Aftab introduced himself as husband

Doctor Shivprasad Shinde from Ozone Hospital said that Shraddha had come to the hospital on December 3, 2020. He was complaining of neck and back pain, due to which he was unable to walk. He continued to take physiotherapy for three days.

According to police officers in Mumbai and Delhi, Shraddha and Aaftab got in touch through the dating app Bumble in 2019 when she was working at a call center in Malad.

The doctor said that "when Shraddha was admitted, Aftab was with her during that time and described himself as Shraddha's husband." "When she was discharged from the hospital, we called her to ask about her health, but there was no contact from her and she didn't even come to the hospital after three days."

Physical abuse

Dr. Shinde told The Indian Express that even after asking several times, Shraddha avoided saying the reason for the injury. He said: "She was suffering from such injuries which are the cause of the physical abuse of her."

Shraddha's medical report at the time said that she had severe pain in her back and neck five days before arriving at the hospital and she had great difficulty moving.

Police are also investigating a conversation Shraddha had with her friend in November 2020. This conversation appears to be a few days before Shraddha was admitted to the hospital.

In a message sent to her friend on November 24, 2020, Shraddha writes, “I won't be able to go today after they killed me yesterday. I feel like my blood pressure is low and my body doesn't have the courage to get out of bed.

Mumbai-based Shraddha Walkar lived with her partner Aftab Poonawalla in Delhi's Chhatarpur and in May this year, Aftab murdered her and dismembered her body into several pieces and dumped it in Mehrauli forests. The murder case came to light after five months in November, when Shraddha's family and friends living in Mumbai filed a complaint with the police over the lack of contact with her.

Whatsapp chat

On November 24, 2020, Shraddha texted her former manager about taking a day off from the office because of "all the beating yesterday." She said: “So yesterday everything was fixed after I went to her parents' house. She is going to move today.

These gory details of the history of abuse and violent assault she suffered at the hands of her boyfriend are coming to light through chats shared by her friends, colleagues and acquaintances. The chats also reveal that she did not want to continue in the relationship.

“And I won't be able to do it today because from all the beating yesterday I think my bp is low and my body hurts. Energy nahi bachi hai bed se uthne ki (I have no energy to get out of bed),” she wrote.

She further added, “I need to make sure she moves in today.” Apparently, the violence was affecting her work.
