कुछ तस्वीरें सामने आई हैं जिससे लगता है कि निक्की के हत्यारे पति विपिन भाटी ने हत्या को दूसरा रंग देने की भी कोशिश की थी।उम्मीद है न्याय व्यवस्था उसकी चाल में नहीं फंसेगी और निक्की के कातिलो को जल्द ही कठोरतम सज़ा मिलेगी 🙏#JusticeForNikkiPayala pic.twitter.com/mGchaTvqIn— Greater Noida West (@GreaterNoidaW) August 23, 2025
