Last month, the DNA tests have also confirmed that hair and bone samples recovered by Delhi Police were of Shraddha Walkar. Since the beginning of the investigation, Delhi Police has found several body parts that have turned out to be of Shraddha following DNA testing.What has latest DNA testing shown

He said, "On Wednesday, we received the result of the examination. One piece of bone and bunch of hair purported to be of deceased have matched with that of her father and brother which establishes the identity of the bone and hair to be that of Shradha Walkar."
Shraddha, 26, was allegedly murdered by her live-in partner Aaftab Poonawalla in May in their house in Delhi's Mehrauli. After he killed her, Aaftab allegedly cut Shraddha's body in 35 pieces and disposed them in Delhi's forests in batches. In the meantime, he allegedly stored the pieces in their fridge.
He has been in judicial custody since November 26. Delhi police are likely to file a chargesheet in the case later this month.
