The woman revealed during the investigation that she did not have any idea about the incident. She said that he (Poonawala) was behaving normally during her visits and that she never saw him scared, they said.

Police had said that Poonawala earlier used to do food vlogging. Poonawala allegedly gave a ring to the psychologist in October that belonged to Shraddha Walkar.
Police also said that the accused's new partner was shocked when she got to know about the incident. Police are investigating the case from all angles, officials said.
On Monday, Poonawala was attacked by some people outside the FSL where he was taken for the polygraph test, following which security was beefed up outside the laboratory on Tuesday where he was again taken for the test.
Poonawala allegedly strangled Shraddha Walkar in May and cut her body into 35 pieces which he kept in a 300-litre fridge for almost three weeks at his residence in Mehrauli in south Delhi, before dumping them across the city over several days.
He was arrested on November 12 and sent to five-day police custody, which was further extended by five days on November 17. The court on November 26 sent him to judicial custody for 13 days.
