The lengthy chargesheet filed by the Delhi Police with over 100 eyewitnesses is based on the forensic and electronic evidence in connection with the case.
In the chargesheet, Delhi Police has also mentioned that the bones recovered from the forests of Chhatarpur and their DNA report matches with that of Shraddha’s. Apart from this, the confession of Aaftab Poonawala and the report of the narco test have also been included, said sources. However, both these reports do not have much importance in the court, as per Delhi Police sources.
On January 4, the police said samples of hair and bones recovered by them from a forest area in South Delhi’s Mehrauli matched with Shraddha’s. Earlier on December 9, the Saket Court extended Aftab’s judicial custody by 14 days.
