Cops Should Have Acted Swiftly on Walkar's Complaint Against Poonawala in 2020, Say Ex-police Officers

News 18  

Retired Maharashtra Police officers on Thursday said the police personnel in Palghar district should have taken serious cognisance of the complaint lodged in 2020 by Shraddha Walkar, in which she accused her live-in partner Aaftab Poonawala of trying to kill her and that she feared he would cut her into pieces. On Wednesday, the police said that Walkar had submitted a complaint letter to Tulinj police station at Vasai in Palghar in November 2020, alleging that Poonawala was trying to kill her. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, however, said the state government would probe why action was not taken by the police on Walkar’s complaint. “In Walkar’s complaint given to the Tulinj police station in 2020 against Poonawala, police could have summoned him and taken action against him,” he said.
