The autopsy report confirmed that Nikki Yadav died of suffocation after being strangled in a car between February 9 and 10 by her live-in partner Sahil Gehlot with a mobile phone cable. We don’t know exactly when Nikki died because her body was frozen. Nikki showed no other signs of injury, according to the report, other than the mark on her neck.
Details about Aaftab Poonawala’s brutal murder of Nikki Yadav, reminiscent of Shraddha Walkar’s murder a year ago, emerged on Tuesday. The investigation will proceed in the same manner as the Shraddha Walkar murder case.
Nikki’s body was discovered in a freezer at Sahil’s Dhaba in Mitraon’s Najafgarh neighbourhood. Sahil strangled Nikki with the mobile cable near Kashmere Gate, then drove the vehicle for 40 to 50 kilometres with Nikki’s body restrained by the seatbelt in the front passenger seat. Sahil placed the body in the freezer of his restaurant until he could find a suitable time to dispose of it. Sahil married the same day, albeit a few hours later.
According to police, Nikki and Sahil have known each other since 2018 because they were in the same coaching programme. After they had begun living together, the pandemic forced them to return to their parents’ homes. After the ban was lifted, they returned to communal living. Nikki used to live in the Uttam Nagar apartment with her sister, but Sahil would pay her visits on occasion.
People in the neighbourhood have seen Sahil go to her apartment several times, despite her telling her neighbours that she was studying and rarely spoke to them.
Without Sahil’s knowledge or consent, his parents secretly arranged his marriage to Nikki. Nikki learned that Sahil had gotten engaged and was planning to marry on February 9. Nikki, enraged, decided to call Sahil and speak with him. The couple made the decision to elope, and they began doing so on February 10th. They saw a lot of Delhi in one night. Their original plan called for a quick trip to Himachal, but Sahil began to reconsider after receiving phone calls from the house where his wedding was being planned. Fighting erupted between the two, and Sahil choked Nikki.
The police were tasked with compiling a comprehensive report for the Delhi Commission for Women. Swati Maliwal, President of the DCW, tweeted, “Nikki Yadav was recently murdered by her boyfriend, who then hid her body in the fridge and married someone else the next day. Absolutely horrifying; please tell me that this trend of female mortality will soon come to an end.”
