Shraddha Walkar murder case: Aftab Poonawalla had extensively read ISIS and Al Qaeda propaganda material

NEW DELHI: According to reliable  police  sources, Shraddha Walkar’s live-in boyfriend Aftab Poonawalla who murdered her and cut up her body into 35 pieces, dumping them in forest areas of Delhi over a period of 2-3 months had extensively read, researched and studied ISIS and Al Qaeda propaganda material online and also looked up on material on how to circumvent and hoodwink investigators and investigations in the face of sustained interrogation and even torture.

Al Qaeda and other similar outfits have detailed information for their operatives in the form of manuals or handbooks on how to face or bear torture and yet not share valuable information with the enemy. This information was searched and accessed by Aftab Poonawalla online in the two months prior to his arrest, sources told this reporter on condition of anonymity.

Aftab, a Muslim was influenced and brainwashed by ISIS ideology, propaganda and material, which he had accessed, read and studied on the Internet. The macabre and dastardly killing of his Hindu girlfriend Shraddha Walkar could also be a part and parcel of that ISIS ideology which he had read and studied and possibly embraced.

And given his statement to the Delhi police that he had absolutely no regrets about what he had done and he would be rewarded in “jannah” with 72 “hoors” smells of ISIS indoctrination, which the Delhi police must seriously look into, for Aftab Poonawalla could possibly be an undercover ISIS operative or sleeper unit in disguise.
