NEW DELHI: Mehrauli murder case: Aaftab Poonawala today informed the court that he had signed a vakalatnama but was not aware that the bail plea would be filed on his behalf.

Meanwhile, according to a report by The Hindu, Aftab Amin Poonawala, accused of strangling his live-in partner Shraddha Walkar and chopping her body into pieces, on December 17 rescinded the authorisation to his lawyer to apply for bail in the court at Delhi.

Additional Sessions Judge Vrinda Kumari said the court received an intimation from Poonawala through email that the bail application was moved erroneously due to lack of communication between Poonawalla and his lawyer.
