Polygraph test on Aaftab Amin Poonawala, accused of murdering his live-in partner Shraddha Walkar, was conducted on Tuesday evening after a city court gave permission to Delhi Police, while investigators found more evidence, including blood stains in the flat where both lived.
Earlier in the day, Poonawala told a Delhi court, which extended his police remand by four days, that he acted in the “heat of the moment” and that it was not “deliberate”, according to Abinash Kumar, the lawyer representing the accused. Kumar later said after speaking to Poonawala that he “never confessed in the court that he killed Walkar”.
Sources said a questionnaire has been prepared for the polygraph test so that the sequence of events in the gruesome killing can be ascertained.
