Sources in the Delhi police earlier had stated that Aftab Poonawala who killed his live-in girlfriend Shraddha Walkar had used the services of online escort websites and booked call girls and escorts online for sex, after killing his girl friend.

It is not yet known if the woman who accompanied Aftab in Goa was for dating purpose, from online dating websites like “Bumble” and “Tinder” or from an escort site only for the purpose of “paid sex”.

Aftab had called for the sex workers and call girls the very next day after receiving payments from his clients. He blew up the money he earned on marijuana and women, said a Delhi police official on condition of anonymity.

According to our source, Aftab paid an advance of Rs 5000 on three occasions and the rest in cash on meeting the escort. He used to call for the sex workers, after killing Shraddha in May.

In all probability, Shraddha’s cut up body was lying in his freezer, when the first of the sex workers visited him at Delhi in June this year, our source said.

Later Aftab visited the restaurant in Goa and had detailed discussions with the owner regarding online promotion of the international cuisine venue. He is also said to have visited a prominent club at Vagator in North Goa.

Aftab had used the services of online booking of escorts and call girls on 3-4 occasions between June and September, police sources told this reporter after analyzing his online transactions and online payments made to various people via several UPI payment APPs.
