The accused Aaftab Poonawala was ordered by the Delhi High Court on Friday to be kept in a solitary cell during the night and to be unlocked for eight hours during the day. Currently incarcerated in Tihar Jail, Aftab is accused of killing his live-in partner, 27-year-old Shraddha Walkar, in Delhi on May 18, 2022. The ruling was made during the hearing of a habeas corpus petition filed by the accused Poonawala, who claimed that he was only detained in a solitary cell at Tihar Jail for the remaining twenty-two hours of each day—one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening.
His attorney went on to say that the other prisoners in the jail are left alone for eight hours every day. After giving the go-ahead to the Tihar Jail administration, the Division Bench of Justices Suresh Kumar Kait and Girish Kathpalia decided the plea. The murder trial of Shraddha Walkar, who was allegedly killed by her live-in partner Aaftab Poonawala, who dispersed her body’s pieces, began in Saket court last year.
Aaftab was charged on May 9 by the trial court for offenses against IPC sections 302 (murder) and 201 (causing the disappearance of evidence of offence).
