Aftab Poonawala, the suspect in the brutal murder of his partner Shraddha Walker in May of this year, spent Rs 20,000 to have his possessions moved from his apartment in Maharashtra's Palghar district to Delhi in 37 boxes in June, a police officer said on Monday. According to police sources, Poonawala informed Delhi Police that before relocating to the capital, he and Walker quarrelled about who would pay to move the belongings out of their home in the Vasai neighbourhood of Palghar.

According to a police officer, they will determine whose account was used to transfer Rs 20,000 in June to the Goodluck Packers and Movers firm for the delivery of furniture and other household items.
