Aftab Poonawalla was spending Rs 6000 each week dating women, duo fought over his “private meetings”: Sagarika Shona Suman

NEW DELHI: According to Mumbai-based actor Sagarika Shona Suman – who had interacted with the Delhi murder victim Shraddha Walkar during the beach cleanup drive at Juhu in suburban Mumbai, about a year earlier, Shraddha’s live-in partner Aftab Amin Poonawala was spending nearly Rs 6000 each week meeting (or rather dating) women he met online.

While Aftab told Shraddha that he was meeting the women for work purpose – he was a food and lifestyle photographer and influencer, in reality he was meeting the women he met on the dating and marriage portals.

These meetings between Aftab and other women were the cause of many fights between the duo. Shraddha knew he was cheating on her as he did not delete his dating app profile and did not change his status from ‘single’ to ‘engaged’ or ‘married’. He kept on interacting with women online and continued to meet them, but lied to Shraddha that he was going for work or a business meeting.

“Shraddha told me her boyfriend was cheating on her. She knew that he was seeing and also sleeping with other women. He did not want to go ahead with the marriage. But since she had broken off with her family, who had disowned her, she could not go back to them,” Sagarika Shona Suman said.
