Nikki Yadav’s murder

On February 2023, a man in southwest Delhi murdered his girlfriend and stuffed her body inside a refrigerator of his dhaba (eatery) and went off to marry another woman the same day. The accused,  Sahil Gehlot (24), a resident of Mitraon village was arrested. The incident came to light on Valentine’s Day. The 23-year-old woman’s body was recovered on Tuesday morning from the refrigerator. Police said the accused had hidden the fact from his girlfriend Nikki Yadav that his marriage was fixed with another woman.

When Nikki came to know about his wedding, she had a heated argument with the accused which led to her murder.

The couple was in a relationship for the past few years and Nikki wanted to marry the accused. On the intervening night of February 9 and 10, when the victim confronted the accused about his marriage, he killed her using the data cable of his mobile phone in his car and then kept her body in a refrigerator at his dhaba, a senior police officer said.
