Poonawalla and Walkar had entered into a live-in relationship after meeting on dating app Bumble. They were initially based out of Mumbai before shifting to Delhi early this year.
According to police investigating the crime, on May 18, after a quarrel between the couple in a rented flat in Mehrauli, the accused strangulated the victim, chopped her body into 35 pieces, stored it in a fridge and later dumped the pieces in different parts of the city over the next 18 days.
The Delhi High Court recently dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) petition seeking the transfer of the investigation in the case from the Delhi Police to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
