DNA testing will be the only way the murder can be confirmed in the Shraddha Walkar case
Like the Sheena Bora murder case, in the Shraddha Walkar case also, the death was detected many months later, since no one realized that she was missing for at least a few months after her death.
If the dead body is not found, it is very difficult for the police and family members to confirm whether the person has died, and file a case in court.
So murderers like Aftab Poonawala are trying to ensure that no body parts are found after killing the victim.
Hence the police spent a lot of time searching for body parts of Shraddha Walkar, so that they can conduct the DNA test
It appears that the Shraddha Walkar case has led to a lot of similar incidents in India where the murder victim is chopped into parts so that there is no trace of the body left.
