Two CCTV footage of Nikki Yadav, who was allegedly killed by her live-in partner in the early hours of February 10, have emerged showing Nikki entering her residence on February 9. She was all alone in the CCTV footage doing the rounds on social media. This might be the last footage of Nikki as she was murdered hours after.
In the ghastly incident, similar to that of the Shraddha Walkar murder, Nikki Yadav was strangled by Sahil Gehlot hours before his wedding to another woman fixed by his parents. After killing Nikki, Sahil stuffed her body inside the refrigerator of his eatery which was supposed to be closed because of his wedding function.
Sahil and Nikki knew each other since 2018 and were living together since before the pandemic. During the pandemic, they returned to their homes and after lockdown restrictions, they moved into a rented flat in Uttam Nagar. Sahil did not tell his family about his relationship with Nikki who was pressuring him for marriage. Sahil's family, on the other hand, fixed his marriage and Sahil got engaged on February 9.
