A BLOODY TALE
A CRIME OF BRUTAL MURDER CASE
EVERY TIME I KNOCK, I SEE
GREENARY, PEACE, BEAUTY AND GLORY
IN THE WORLD FULL OF LIFE,
BUT DON’T BELIEVE, IT CAN BE THAT DREADFUL KNIFE
SOULLY, WHOLELY, PURELY IN LOVE
BRUTALLY CUT INTO PIECES. ISN’T IT ENOUGH
THOSE TWINKLING STARS IN THE NASTY NIGHT
DEMON ANGER AND ANXIETY AT THEIR HEIGHT
DEAFENING SILENCE WASN’T EASY TO HEAR
GLOOMY FACES TEARING EYES ALL WERE BLINKING WITH FEAR.
INTELLIGENT, BRILLIANT, GENIUS AND INGENUITY
MADE A MONSTER.
THIS IS A LACK OF ETHICS AND INTEGRITY.
WORSHIPPING A GODDESS IS OF NO USE
WHEN A GODDESS IS BEING CHOKED JUST FOR A REFUSE
EDUCATION AND KNOWLEDGE MIGHT LAST FOR ESSE
THIS MAY RESULT IN A CORPSE WITH 35-PIECE
THE LAND OF DURGA, LAKSHMI, AND SARASWATI
IS THE GRAVEYARD OF MANY PARVATI
WALLS EVEN SHIVERED, BUT NOT THAT MONSTER!
THE DEVIL KEPT HER IN THE REFRIGERATOR
SUN, MOON TREES, AND EVEN THE RAIN
WITNESSED HER FRAGMENTS IN THE DRAIN
AFTER SIX MONTHS, SHE IS GETTING JUSTICE
FOR THIS MONSTER, EXECUTION ISN’T A BIG DEAL IN DISGUISE
RATHER THAN TEACHING A GIRL TO HAVE SHY AND SOFT SIGHT
TEACH THEM TO FIGHT FOR THEIR SELF-RESPECT AND HUMAN RIGHTS
BE BRAVE TO FACE HUMANKIND. NOT JUST WONDERFUL, BUT WITH A VICIOUS MIND.
In the midst of a busy metropolis in Delhi, India’s capital city, an ominous story about love and betrayal was being whispered. It was only six months after the terrible event that the truth came to light. The Shraddha murder case is a brutal crime that took place in May 2021.
On 18 May 2022, 28-year-old Aaftab Poonawala strangled his live-in partner Shraddha over an argument and then proceeded to cut her body into 35 pieces, allegedly charring her face to hide her identity.
He used a 300-litre fridge to store her body parts which were individually disposed in the Chhatarpur forest over the next 18 days, at around 2 AM every night to avoid suspicion.
Poonawala was arrested by the Delhi Police on 12 November 2022 and got death penalty. The city, once vibrant and full of life, was now shrouded in sorrow and despair.
