Police have also recovered the wedding certificates of Sahil and Nikki during the accused's police remand.
Nikki Yadav, the 23-year-old Delhi woman who was strangled to death by her boyfriend with a charging cable and stuffed in a fridge, was married to the accused since 2020, police sources said today in a major development in the case. Earlier, it was reported that the man, 24-year-old Sahil Gehlot, had murdered her on the day of his wedding to another woman after a three-hour fight over the issue. Sahil had hidden his plans to marry another woman from Nikki Yadav.
Sources said Sahil, a pharma graduate, and Nikki, got married in October 2020 at the Arya Samaj temple in Uttar Pradesh's Noida. Sahil's family was reportedly unhappy with the marriage and wanted her gone.
Delhi Police's Crime Branch yesterday arrested Sahil's father, Virendra Singh, brothers Anish and Naveen, and friends Lokesh and Amar after they found out that Sahil's family and friends were involved in the murder.
Sahil's family fixed his marriage with another woman in December 2022, and Nikki was kept in the dark.
