Meanwhile, Poonawalla, accused in the Shraddha Walker murder case, was brought to the FSL office amid tight security on Tuesday for a polygraph test. A contingent of BSF jawans was also seen deployed outside the FSL office. Poonawala allegedly strangled Shraddha Walkar and cut her body into 35 pieces which he kept in a 300-litre fridge for almost three weeks at his residence in Mehrauli in south Delhi, before dumping them across the city over several days. He was arrested on November 12 and sent to five-day police custody, which was further extended by five days on November 17. On November 22, he was sent to police custody for four days. The court on November 26 sent him to judicial custody for 13 days.
