Mehrauli murder case: Home Minister Amit Shah promises strict action

Mehrauli murder case: Home Minister Amit Shah promises strict action

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said that Delhi Police and prosecution will ensure "strict punishment" to the accused in minimal possible time in the Shraddha Walkar murder case.

"I have my eyes on the entire case. I just want to tell the people of the country that whosoever has done this, through law and through courts, Delhi Police and prosecution will ensure strict punishment in the minimum time," he said at the Times Now Summit here.

Shah said there is no lack of coordination between Delhi and Mumbai police.

"But the letter that has come to fore, Delhi Police has no role in it. In a police station in Maharashtra, Shraddha had given a letter that her body will be cut into pieces and about receiving death threats... No action was taken on it there...There will be probe on it there. At that time we did not have our government... Whosever is responsible, strict action will be taken," the home minister said.

In May this year, Walkar, 27, was allegedly murdered by Poonawala in Delhi. He allegedly strangled Walkar and sawed her body into 35 pieces which he kept in a fridge for almost three weeks at his residence in South Delhi’s Mehrauli area before dumping them across the city over several days past midnight.

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.

They also said that when the local police approached Walkar, she withdrew the complaint, saying the issues between her and Poonawala were resolved. 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.
