During the court proceedings, Shreejay shared crucial information about the deteriorating situation between Shraddha and Poonawala.
Counsel of Aaftab Amin Poonawala, who is accused of strangling his live-in partner Shraddha Walkar to death, chopping her body into several pieces, storing them in a fridge before disposing of them in a forest over three months, on Friday complained in court that his client was "manhandled" during his production in court.
Apart from 100 witnesses, forensic and electronic evidence has been made the basis of the draft charge sheet of more than 3000 pages.
"It was further observed in the case that the Fundamental Right to Privacy cannot be construed as absolute and must bow down to compelling public interest"
Shraddha was allegedly killed by her live-in partner Aaftab, who allegedly chopped her body into 35 pieces, bought a refrigerator and stored them in it before he disposed them off at different locations.
The accused have been identified as Nigam Gurjar and Kuldeep Thakur, residents of Gurugram, Haryana. They claim to be associated with Hindu Sena.
Ever since the brutal murder was broken by the media, newer and more shocking revelations continue trickle in as the progression of investigation.
Due to investigators not able to extract the information needed to push the investigation further, Poonawalla's polygraph test was also left incomplete on Friday.
Aaftab told the court that he is having difficulty in recalling the incident but he is cooperating well in the case.
A team of the Delhi Police probing the Shraddha murder case has reached Mumbai for further investigation into the matter.
