New Delhi, Dec 9 (IANS) The Saket Court on Friday extended Aaftab Amin Poonawalla's judicial custody for 14 days after the Delhi Police submitted that the investigation into the Shraddha Walkar murder case is in progress and requested for extension.
Poonawalla, who killed his live-in partner Shraddha on May 18 and then chopped her body into 35 pieces, is currently lodged in Tihar Jail.
On November 26, he was sent to a 13-day judicial custody by the court.
On December 2, Poonawalla's narco test got over. It was conducted by Forensic Science Laboratory officials inside the prison.
Though his confessions in the narco test cannot be used in court, it proved that the investigators were proceeding in the right direction.
Findings of both polygraph and narco test are not admissible in the court.
These tests will only help the Delhi Police gather evidence, and thereby increase the possibility of prosecution of the guilty.
Responding to a question during 'Question Hour', he said that the government has been exploring all options such as currency to facilitate purchase, supply of oil in markets, insurance and freight.
The farmers have been told to plough the standing crop, which is yet to mature, and in lieu they will be paid a compensation of around Rs 46,000 per acre.
The Samyukt Kisan Morcha has decided to organise a nationwide protest on March 21, regarding the role of the government in the Lakhimpur Kheri incident, and the betrayal of the assurances given to the farmers' movement.
The Indian delegation was led by Ministry of External Affairs's Secretary, East, Saurabh Kumar, while the Canadian delegation was led by Deputy Minister of Foreign and Global Affairs Marta Morgan.
As many as eight people were reportedly trapped after a building collapsed in North Delhi's Kashmere Gate area on Monday evening. The fire department received the information about the incident at around 5:25 pm.
The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) amended its order issued on March 4 by deleting the para restricting the entry of Sikh employees inside the airport carrying 'kirpan' of specified size. The new order issued on March 12 restored the position prior to March 4.
