THE doctor who treated the Mumbai girl, Shraddha, for acute shoulder and back pain in the year 2020, on Friday said that the accused Aftab accompanied her when she was brought to the hospital.

She was admitted to Ozone Multispecialty Hospital of Nalasopara area in 2020 for acute back and shoulder pain.

“Shraddha was brought to the hospital on December 3, 2020, and was admitted for four days. She had complained of severe back and shoulder pain with radiculopathy. She however did not reveal the cause of the injuries,” Dr Shiv Prasad Shinde who treated Shraddha at Ozone Multispecialty Hospital said. He said, “Shraddha had come with Aftab for treatment.” “We did not find any external injury marks on her body, and Aftab was with her at the time of admission,” said Shinde. Earlier, a photo of Shraddha with minor bruises on her nose and near her right eye was also shared by her friends with local media in Mumbai.

They claimed that she was hospitalised after the assault by Aftab. “She used to complain about Aftab and his addiction. He would often fight with her and beat her too,” claimed Shraddha’s friend Rahul Rai said.

Aftab is accused of strangling his live-in partner Shraddha Walker and chopping her body into 35 pieces. The accused was allegedly high on marijuana when he committed the crime, sources said. He was arrested on Saturday after Delhi police started probing into a missing complaint filed by Shraddha’s father Vikas Walker.
