New Delhi, Feb 15: A video claiming to be the CCTV footage of Nikki Yadav, who was murdered by her live-in partner Sahil Gehlot, has surfaced on social media sites.

In the viral clip, Nikki Yadav is seen walking up the stairs. She is seen alone in the video captured on February 9 at around 1:10 pm. It is footage that was captured hours before she was killed by her live-in partner.

In a murder that reminds of Shradha Walkar's case, Sahil strangled her to death. He has been arrested and an initial probe suggests that the woman was allegedly murdered around two to three days ago, and her body was kept inside a freezer at his family's dhaba at Mitraon Village.

What we know, So Far?
He was in a relationship with the victim since 2018 and they had known each other during their tuition days. The duo used to travel together to Uttam Nagar on the same bus, and they became friends, and later on, fell in love. They used to meet before and after the coaching classes.

In February 2018, the accused took admission in D. Pharma in Galgotia College at Greater Noida and she also took admission in the same college in BA (English Hons.). Thereafter, both of them started living together in Greater Noida in a rented house. They became very close to each other and also travelled to several places such as Manali, Haridwar, Rishikesh and Dehradun.

However, during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, they returned to their homes and after the end of the lockdown, they again started living together in a rented house in the Dwarka area.

Nikki was putting pressure on him to tie the knot, but his family had found another alliance for him. He got engaged to the girl choose by his family on February 9 and this led to an argument between them. So, they decided to elope either to Goa or Himachal Pradesh.

They decided to leave the city in the early hours of February 10 on the day of his marriage, but his mind changed once he started getting calls from his family members. This triggered a fight between them and the accused strangulated the deceased with the help of a data cable of his mobile phone kept in his car.

Thereafter, he went to the dhaba owned by him and put her dead body in a refrigerator. The accused then went back to his home and solemnised his marriage to another woman.
