The murderer, Aaftab stayed in the same house for several months after the murder. Every day at around 2 am, Aaftab would go to throw pieces of the body in plastic bags in forests. Six months later, Aaftab was arrested after the girl's family pushed for an investigation. 

Aaftab and Shraddha used to live in Mumbai and knew each other for the last 4 years. They had met through a dating app in the city. They worked in a call centre. Soon, they started dating and decided that they want to be in a live-in relationship. This means that they wanted to live with each other before marriage.

According to reports, the couple decided to live together within just 20 days of dating. The two later faced many issues with this new arrangement such as fights and arguments. But they reportedly solved their fights by going on long walks.

They travelled together as well to places in the North. Later, they moved to Delhi and first stayed in a hotel in Paharganj. Then they took a flat Chhatarpur Enclave.

On May 19, Aaftab bought a saw and a 300-liter fridge. On the same day, it cut Shraddha's body into 35 pieces. The investigation is on to discover more details on the case.
