According to the police, Aaftab used to regularly smoke marijuana and was a drug addict. Currently incarcerated and always being watched by police and CCTV cameras, the alleged murderer is being kept under constant observation. In the most recent development, the gujarat police have detained a man from surat named Faizal Momin who is thought to be Aaftab Poonawala's narcotics dealer. Aaftab allegedly used to purchase drugs from Faizal, who left when the murder case gained attention from the media.
According to reports, when they lived in Mumbai, Faizal and Aaftab frequented the same neighbourhood. In order to establish a connection between the two, gujarat authorities are anticipated to examine the peddler's call logs. The two are also claimed to share a large number of pals. The police have also been informed by a large number of Aaftab and Shraddha's friends that the alleged murderer was a drug user. Aaftab is accused of killing Shraddha, and the police are investigating whether he was under the influence of drugs at the time.
