India, Feb. 9 -- Vikas Walkar, the father of Shraddha Walkar, who was allegedly murdered by her live-in partner Aaftab Amin Poonawalla in Delhi in 2022, died due to a cardiac arrest in Mumbai's Vasai on Sunday, said police.

The Shraddha Walkar murder case had sent shock waves across the nation with its gory details in which Poonawalla allegedly chopped her body into at least 35 pieces, stored them in a refrigerator for about three months, and dumped the body parts piece by piece in different parts of south Delhi.

According to officers from the Vasai police station, 59-year-old Vikas Walkar's health suddenly deteriorated, prompting his son to rush him to a hospital in the early hours of Sunday, where doctors declared him dead.
