Delhi police recoverd heavy and sharp object may have been used to chop Shraddha Walkar's body, according to NDTV. Recovery of the weapon will be crucial in further investigation of the case.

The forensics team claims that the blood stains on the clothes Aftab was wearing on the day of the murder would still be there. Both their clothes have not been found so far. Aftab has told the police that he disposed of Shraddha's bloodstained clothes in the civic garbage van.

Then his dead body was cut into several pieces, which he kept in a 300-litre fridge for about three weeks at his residence in Mehrauli, South Delhi.
