The police shot the man in the leg after he tried to flee custody in the Greater Noida Dowry Murder Case. This incident happened just one day after the arrest of Nikki, his wife, aged 28. The case brought to light the issue of violence related to dowry in the area.
In Sirsa Village, Greater Noida, a tragic tale unfolded where Nikki, her husband, and family allegedly set Nikki on fire. This horrific incident occurred because the family was demanding Rs 35 lakh in dowry, but they did not receive it.
The First Information Report indicates that the complaint was made by Nikki’s sister, Kanchan. Kanchan is married to the accused’s brother and lives at the same address. Kanchan claimed that the family tortured both of her sisters over their dowry requests.
In the FIR, details are given of what happened on August 21, a terrifying day. Kanchan reported to the police that on August 21, at around 5:30 pm, Vipin and his family, Daya, Satyaveer and Rohit, had poured a flammable liquid over my sister, setting her ablaze and causing her death. Kanchan rushed to Fortis Hospital, but because of the severe burns on her sister, they referred her to Safdarjung Hospital, Delhi. Nikki died tragically on her way to the hospital.
Noida Police arrested Vipin Bhati after he filed a complaint. Nikki’s in-laws, Daya, Satyaveer and Rohit, have also been charged.
A Shot to the Leg during Escape Attempt
