In that interview, he can be heard saying that Aftab murdered Shraddha because she must have done something wrong. He further states that since Aftab cut Shraddha&#8217;s corpse into 35 pieces, Aftab should be cut into 75 pieces. At 1:52 of the video, when the reporter asks if his name is Vikas, he says, <em>&#8220;Aur Kya! daari se Mommedan lag raha hu, par Hindu hnu aur kya.
