Shraddha Walkar’s father Vikas Walkar met Maharashtra Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis ahead of the press conference.
Shraddha Walkar’s father Vikas Walkar appeared before the media for the first time on Friday. He said that the investigation is going on right now, but if Vasai, Tulinj police had taken this matter seriously earlier, maybe my daughter’s life could have been saved.
Vikas said- I do not want the same thing to happen to anyone else as it happened to my daughter. I want justice for my daughter, so her killer Aftab should be hanged. I tried to talk to my daughter but she didn’t respond to me in the last two years. I was never told what was happening with my daughter.
He told that the last time I talked to Shraddha was in 2021. She told that she lives in Bangalore. I spoke to Aftab on 26th September and asked about the daughter, he did not respond.
Shraddha’s father said- Delhi and Vasai police’s investigation is going well. Still Vasai Police, Nalasopara Police showed laxity in the investigation which is unfortunate.
Read what else Shraddha’s father said
- Delhi Police has assured us that we will get justice. Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has also assured me of getting justice. My daughter was brutally murdered. I had to face many problems because of Vasai police. If they had helped me, my daughter would have been alive.
- I expect a similar lesson for Aftab Poonwala as he killed my daughter. An inquiry should be conducted against Aftab’s family members, relatives and all others involved in the incident.
- I was against Shraddha and Aftab’s relationship. I was unaware of the domestic violence that happened to Shraddha. I think, his family knew what he was doing to him.
- It was through dating apps that Shraddha came in contact with Aftab. It was Aftab who tricked Shraddha into leaving the house. Children over the age of 18 should be controlled to some extent. What happened to me should not happen to anyone else.
Shraddha’s father’s lawyer said – keep an eye on dating apps
Shraddha’s father’s lawyer Seema Kushwaha said that people have the right to use dating apps, but these dating apps should be monitored. Criminals and terrorists can use it. I think the names of Aftab’s family members should also be there in the charge sheet.
Aftab and Shraddha met through the Bumble dating app.
