Speaking to ANI, Rahul Rai, who identified himself as a friend of Shraddha’s, said, “In 2020, we (him and other friends) helped her file an FIR after she reached out to us for help saying Aftab beat her. We took her home.” “The police officer suggested detaining Aftab for interrogation but she said such things happen in a relationship,” he added.
Rahul claimed the day after she filed the complaint, the police called her over to the police station. She said she was scared that he (Aftab) would kill her as he has already tried to kill her before and had beaten her multiple times, her friend recalled.
“Aftab would lock her up at home and talk to other girls,” Rahul claimed, adding that Shraddha had also talked to him about her partner’s drug abuse.
“When we tried to reach out to her again, she said, ‘don’t worry, such things happen’. We did not have any sort of contact ever since,” Rahul said, adding that he never imagined that her live-in relatinship with Aftab would meet such a horrific fallout.
