When Aftab Poonawalla crafted the murder chronicle of Shraddha Walkar, he nonchalantly accepted that he did so in a ‘fit of rage’. The body was chopped into 35 pieces, bones were reduced to powder, and the remains were disposed of in Delhi’s Mehrauli jungle over a span of a few months.

This time, the murderer was a 23-year-old girl.
