The relationship was disapproved by Sahil Gehlot's family, who wanted to get rid of Nikki Yadav so that he could wed someone else.

Nikki was kept in the dark when Sahil's family decided to arrange his marriage to a different woman in December 2022.

Sahil killed Nikki on his day of marriage after a three-hour fight over the issue. 

"They stuffed the body inside the fridge thinking that it will stay fresh and there would not be any foul smell. No one would be able to suspect or detect anything unusual since everyone would be busy with the wedding for at least three days and later they would dispose her body later," sources in the Delhi police said.
