A recent case has brought the family’s claims regarding Nikki Bhati’s death into question. Nikki, who was allegedly murdered in Greater Noida last week, was cremated by some members of her in-laws’ family. Her father-in-law played an active role in the last rites. Nikki passed away on Thursday night, August 21st. Her sister Kanchan, who is also married into the same family residing in Sirsa village, Greater Noida, claimed Nikki was set on fire and killed by her husband Vipin and other in-laws. Kanchan stated she fainted upon witnessing her sister burning, and the in-laws subsequently fled. However, a video has surfaced showing Nikki’s father-in-law and other in-laws present at the cremation, with the pyre being lit by her father-in-law. Hours after the funeral, Nikki’s family filed an FIR accusing her husband Vipin, Kanchan’s husband Rohit, and her in-laws of murder, leading to their arrest. During his arrest, Vipin attempted to take a police officer’s pistol and was injured after the officer retaliated with a shot. Another video showed Vipin and a woman dragging Nikki by her hair, with Vipin appearing shirtless and with blood marks. Kanchan revealed that both sisters endured constant mental and physical abuse in their in-laws’ house, with demands for additional dowry cited as a reason. She also mentioned being severely beaten on the Thursday morning in question.
