WOMEN’S WING OF UDDHAV’S GROUP DEMANDS BAN ON DATING APPS

MUMBAI: The women’s wing of the Uddhav Thackeray-led faction of the Shiv Sena held a protest in Maharashtra’s Vasai on Wednesday, calling for a ban on dating apps in light of the murder of Shraddha Walkar allegedly by her live-in partner Aaftab Amin Poonawala in New Delhi.

Walkar, 27, and Poonawala, 28, lived together in a flat in Vasai since 2019, before moving to Delhi in the second week of May this year. On May 18, Poonawala allegedly murdered Walkar, dismembered her body, and dumped the body parts in forested areas of the Capital. The protest in Vasai on Wednesday condemned the murder and called for justice for Walkar. “It is our request, demand and order to shut down these dating apps,” said ex-corporator Kiran Chendwankar,
