According to the Delhi Police, it was part of "Aaftab's plan" after he allegedly strangled Shraddha in May this year and chopped her up into multiple parts and preserved them in a refrigerator before disposing them over several days.
Delhi Police said that Aaftab was attempting to portray that Shraddha had left him and had also taken away with her all household items.
In order to show that he required all those essential items he hired a movers and packers company to transport his belongings from his flat in the Vasai area of Palghar to Delhi's Chhattarpur area.
"After killing Shraddha in May, as a part of his plan, Aaftab made an online booking with a travel company in June and transported around 37 boxes of belongings to his residence in Delhi's Chhatarpur area.

BMC kicks start work to build new Carnac bridge, set for 2024 deadline
The BMC has sped up the reconstruction process of the new bridge at Carnac Bunder after the century-old existing structure was dismantled by the Central Railway (CR) over the weekend.
The work order for the new bridge was issued in October, and construction and fabrication works have begun at a workshop in Ambala. The estimated cost of the bridge is around Rs 49 crore and it is expected to be completed by June 2024. The bridge will ease traffic congestion in South Mumbai, said civic officials.
The 154-year-old British-era bridge was closed to heavy vehicles in 2014. However, the dismantling work was delayed since the other important link – the Hancock Bridge – was still under construction. Both bridges provide east-west connectivity in South Mumbai.
