Shraddha Walkar, who worked at a call center and lived with Aaftab Poonawala, told police in Maharashtra two years ago that he had tried to kill her. She also feared he would cut her up and throw her away, an official said on Wednesday.
Poonawala is now accused of murdering her brutally.

Based on her written complaint dated November 23, 2020, officers from Tulinj police station in Palghar district paid two visits to the residences of Walkar and Poonawala and took her statement.

Walkar then told the cops that she filed the complaint “in a fit of rage” and that the issues between her and Poonawala had already been resolved. He said she told the cops she was withdrawing her complaint, and the case was closed.

The official said that the officer who came to their house advised them and told Poonawala to be careful.

The actress took to social media to share an image of the same letter written by Shraddha Walkar in which she begged for help.
She also included a lengthy message saying that Aftab Poonawalla had fulfilled his “Dexter fantasy” by killing his 26-year-old live-in partner. Taking to Instagram Stories, she wrote,

“This is the letter that Shraddha wrote to the police in 2020, pleading for help. He always used to choke her and threatened to cut her in pieces – she has mentioned that he was blackmailing her, but how did he manage to brainwash her and take her to Delhi? He isolated her and then fulfilled his Dexter fantasy.”

“We all know the answer is ‘promise of marriage,’ a bait all girls take; she was not weak or emotionally needy… She was just a girl born to dress and feed the dolls, take care of them and nurture them, make their beds, and tell them bedtime stories; unfortunately, she had the heart of a female, and its promotive instinct is to protect and heal.”
Kangana continued to write in her lengthy note,

“A woman is essentially a womb, a mother like our earth who sees no discrimination in those who deserve her and those who don’t… she believes in fairyland and believes that the world needs her love to heal; she is the feminine goddess of healing powers, She was not weak; she was just a girl who thought she was in a fairy tale fighting the dark demons of her hero, for we all know love triumphs all. She went too far to fight his demons, but he wanted them to win, and they did.”

Poonawala (28) allegedly strangled his live-in partner Walkar and sawed her body into 35 pieces, which he kept in a 300-liter fridge at his home in south Delhi’s Mehrauli area for nearly three weeks before dumping them across the city several days after midnight.
The murder occurred in May of this year.
Walkar was a native of Vasai town in Maharashtra’s Palghar district.
