In a significant breakthrough in the Shraddha Walker murder case, sources in the Delhi Police claimed to have recently accessed a video of the accused Aftab in conversation with Shraddha in which she is heard asking Aftab "not to quarrel."

The purported video is believed to be from Mumbai, according to sources in the Delhi Police.

"Aftab is being asked in this video not to fight," sources said.

Sources in Delhi Police said if the video turns out to be authentic then it would prove the allegations that Aftab and Shraddha used to fight.

However, not much is being said about the video right now, sources added.

Sources in Delhi Police said they would get done a face recognition test done in the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) so that Aftab's presence in the video can be confirmed scientifically.

"This will be done so that Aftab cannot deny that he is not part of the video," sources added.

According to police sources, a 3D image of Aftab will be taken in this test.

Meanwhile, on Monday Aftab, the prime accused in the Shraddha Walkar murder case was brought to the Central Bureau of Investigation's CFSL lab in the national capital for a voice sampling test.

Tihar jail officials were seen taking Aftab to the forensic lab for the test procedure.

A Delhi Court had on Friday given permission to the Delhi Police to obtain a voice sample of Poonawalla after police had submitted a plea for the same.

This follows after Delhi Police managed to retrieve an audio conversation between Aftab and Shraddha.

Court has observed that though a fair trial is a right of an accused but at the same time, a fair investigation is required in the larger public interest.

Aftab allegedly killed Shraddha on May 18, chopped her body into 35 pieces and dumped them at various places over a period of 18 days.
