Remember the Shraddha Walkar case? The 2022 murder case that shocked the entire country.
Now, reports say one of Aftab Poonawala’s court appearances was postponed because he is pursuing an M.A. in Sociology, has exams to attend, and sought mental peace to focus on his studies.
This has sparked outrage online. Many people are questioning why such a high-profile murder trial is still taking so long. Shraddha’s father spent years fighting for justice before passing away in 2025, without seeing the case conclude.
Many are asking whether the right to education should result in delays in a serious criminal trial. Others have also pointed out the irony that someone accused in one of India’s most disturbing murder cases is studying Sociology while the victim’s family has waited years for justice.
The larger debate isn’t just about one case. It is about whether India’s justice system is delivering timely justice. Whether the victim is a man or a woman, people expect serious criminal cases to be concluded without unnecessary delays.
