Shraddha Walkar's Aunt Reports Anonymous Pakistan Calls Amid Justice DelayPreviousNext

Four years after Shraddha Walkar's murder, her aunt Rajal Naik reports receiving anonymous phone calls from Pakistan following her media appeals for justice. Living in Vasai, Maharashtra, Naik has stopped answering unknown international calls but has saved call logs to file a police complaint. The trial of Walkar's live-in partner, Aaftab Poonawala, accused of strangling and dismembering her in Delhi, remains pending. Naik continues to express concern over the case's prolonged delay and her family's safety.
