Amravati, December 6: Several cases similar to the horrifying Shraddha Walkar murder case have been reported across the country ever since Aftab Amin Poonawala's arrest for allegedly killing his live-in girlfriend and chopping her body into 35 parts came to the fore. In yet another Delhi-styled murder, a woman's body parts have been found inside a drum kept inside a locked rented house in Andhra Pradesh's Visakhapatnam. The half-decomposed body of the woman is suspected to have been locked up for over a year.
