Around a month after the killing of Shraddha Walkar came to light, her father Vikas Walkar said that the murderer Aftab Poonawalla should meet the same fate and hanged to death.

In addition, he demanded that there should be a thorough probe against the Poonawalla family as well.

“There should be proper investigation and he should be hanged to death,” Walkar, a resident of Vasai in Palghar district, told reporters in Mumbai on Friday.

Earlier in the day, Walkar met Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the latter assured that justice would be meted out. “We would ensure that she gets justice,” Fadnavis, who holds the Home portfolio, told Walkar and family members.

Walkar was accompanied by senior BJP leader and BJP MP Kirit Somaiya, when his family met him.

Poonawalla (28) is accused of killing Shraddha (27) by cutting her body in 35 pieces and disposing it off in Mehrauli in Delhi.

“As of now, the probe being conducted by Delhi Police and Vasai police is going well,” he said, however, said that in the initial stages the local police in Vasai and Tulinj in Nalasopara were lax.

“The Delhi Police assured us that we will get justice. The Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister (Fadnavis) too also assured us of the same,” he said.

“There should be investigations against Aftab’s family members, relatives and all others involved in the incident,” he demanded.

“I was against the relationship between Shraddha and Aftab… but I was unaware of the domestic violence that my daughter was facing,” he said.

Walkar also blamed dating applications. “Dating apps should be monitored,” he said.
