Nikki Killed by Husband and In-Laws Over Dowry (Social media)
National News: A shocking case has come to light in Greater Noida, where a woman named Nikki tragically died after being set ablaze by her husband and in-laws over persistent dowry demands. Police have arrested her husband, Vipin, while cases have also been filed against his mother, father, and brother.
On Thursday night, Nikki was rushed to Fortis Hospital in Greater Noida with serious burn injuries. She was shifted to Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi for advanced treatment, but she passed away on the way. After the post-mortem examination, her body was handed over to her family.
In her statement, Nikki’s elder sister, Kanchan, alleged that Vipin beat Nikki unconscious before setting her on fire with an inflammable liquid. She said the harassment began soon after Nikki’s marriage in 2016. Despite giving an SUV, valuables, and later another car, the in-laws allegedly continued to demand money.
“They demanded ₹35 lakh even after being given another car. Their harassment never stopped,” Kanchan said. She also revealed that she was present when the incident happened but was unable to save her sister. Both sisters were married into the same family.
A disturbing video of Nikki’s young son has surfaced online. In the clip, the child is heard saying, “Papa set Mummy on fire with a lighter.” The video has quickly gone viral, sparking widespread anger and outrage.
The victim’s uncle, Raj Singh, claimed that repeated complaints were made earlier, and even village panchayats tried to settle the matter. However, the harassment never stopped. “Both sisters were regularly beaten, and no compromise worked,” he added.
ADCP Sudhir Kumar confirmed the arrest of Vipin. "On August 21, Fortis Hospital reported that a woman with severe burn injuries had been admitted. She was later shifted to Safdarjung Hospital but died on the way. Following her sister’s complaint, a case has been filed against four family members. "The husband is in custody, and teams are working to arrest the others,” he said.
The incident has deeply shocked the community, and the victim’s family is demanding strict punishment for all the accused.
