Shraddha Walkar Murder Case: Seating Objection Delays Evidence

Shraddha Walkar Murder Case: Seating Objection Delays Evidence

In the Shraddha Walkar murder case, a dispute over where the accused, Aaftab Poonawala, should sit briefly interrupted the trial.

The prosecution argued that Poonawala sitting next to his lawyers could influence the trial, while the defense supported the arrangement for effective communication.

The court upheld the seating arrangement, allowing the trial to continue with witness examination and digital evidence.

The case involves the murder of Shraddha Walkar in 2022, with her body dismembered and disposed of in different parts of Delhi.

The trial has been ongoing since 2022, with over 215 hearings and a charge sheet exceeding 13,000 pages.
