Her live-in partner Sahil Gehlot had killed her during an argument on Saturday and stuffed her body inside a fridge at his family-owned restaurant, the police have said.
The argument was about Sahil's marriage with another woman, which took place the same evening, hours after the murder. The police said Nikki, who had a live-in relationship with Sahil Gehlot for long, had no clue about the marriage.
"We do not know about her live-in situation. Our whole family have no idea. These are lies that are being spread. She was sharing a room with her younger sister for the last eight months," said Nikki Yadav's father Sunil Yadav. Nikki's younger sister is pursuing a Master's degree in commerce.
The family is from Haryana's Jhajjar district and Mr Yadav runs a motor repair business in Gurugram.
