In another grisly murder case, a 24-year-old man has been accused of killing his 22-year-old live-in partner and stuffing her body in a fridge in Najafgarh.
The accused Sahil Gehlot reportedly killed Nikki Yadav by strangling her and hiding her body in a fridge at a dhaba he owned. This murder drew comparisons with another murder case of Shraddha Walkar.
Nikki Yadav, like Shraddha Walkar, was stored in the refrigerator. Gehlot is believed to have kept Yadav’s body in the fridge for around 4 days.
Shraddha Walkar was chopped up by her boyfriend Aaftab Poonawala, and stored in the fridge. He went out for around 18 days to dispose of her body.
Nikki Yadav was killed near Kashmiri Gate ISBT on the intervening night of February 9-10 following an argument. She was strangled with a data cable in Gehlot’s car. He then hid her dead body.
Sahil Gehlot had not informed his family of his relationship with Nikki Yadav, and was being pressured to get married. His wedding date was fixed for February 10, which led to the fateful argument between the two.
