Nikki Yadav murder: Sahil Gehlot taken to temple where the two got married

Continuing the probe into the murder of Nikki Yadav, Delhi Police on 19 February 2023 took accused Sahil Gehlot to the temple where the two had gotten married.

Gehlot was taken to the Arya Samaj Mandir in Uttar Pradesh's Greater Noida, sources were quoted as saying by news agency PTI. Police recorded statements of the temple priest, and witnesses who were present at the time of the marriage.

Cops have arrested Gehlot, his father, two cousins, and two friends, so far. Gehlot allegedly killed his wife Nikki and stuffed her body in a refrigerator at a 'dhaba' in order to marry another woman.

Gehlot had married Yadav at an Arya Samaj temple in 2020. The couple had not informed their respective families about their marriage. "However, when Gehlot's parents started looking for a girl for his marriage and started pressuring him to take interest in marriage..., he finally revealed to his family that he was already married," a police officer said earlier.

When Gehlot's family got to know about his marriage to Yadav, they expressed their displeasure over him marrying a girl of his choice without informing them.
