Nikki’s brother said that they had fulfilled all the demands of the husband, identified as Vipin, during the marriage.
While speaking to News18 India, Rohit said that they had gifted a top model of the Scorpio car at the wedding in 2016, along with all the daily-use items.
He said that both of his brother-in-laws (Nikki’s and Kanchan’s husbands) used to torture his sisters on a regular basis for dowry, with the younger one being more cruel. “This had been going on for a long time; their demands were increasing day by day after the marriage,” he said.
Rohit further claimed that both men were also having extramarital affairs.
He said that it is very much clear in the now viral video how his sisters were tortured for dowry demands.
Nikki, the woman who died, had married into a family in Greater Noida’s Sirsa village in 2016, and her sister Kanchan said the torture for dowry began just six months later. Nikki, she said, was thrashed by her in-laws on Thursday night and then set ablaze in front of her son.
Videos show Nikki being dragged by her hair by her husband, Vipin, and another woman. Vipin, shirtless, has visible blood on his stomach and back. In other clips, Nikki is seen hobbling down the stairs while on fire, then sitting on the floor with her severe burn injuries clearly visible. In one scene, someone throws water on her, seemingly to help soothe her burns.
According to Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Greater Noida) Sudhir Kumar, they received information on Thursday night from a hospital that a woman had been admitted with burn injuries and she had been referred to Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi.
“The woman died on the way to Safdarjung Hospital. A post-mortem was conducted. Based on her sister’s complaint, a case has been registered. The husband, Vipin, has been arrested,” he said.
Police are searching for the woman’s father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law, all of whom have been named in the case.
