The enigma surrounding Nikki Bhati's mysterious demise in Greater Noida's Sirsa village is becoming increasingly complex. The police investigating this case have discovered flammable liquid in Nikki's room, which has been sent for forensic analysis. Additionally, multiple short video clips from the incident on August 21 have surfaced, altering the course of the investigation drastically.
According to police sources, a new video has emerged showing Saas Dayawati intervening in a quarrel between her son Vipin and daughter-in-law Nikki. Another video, recorded by Nikki's sister Kanchan, captures a voice saying, "What have you done?" Following the release of these statements and videos, the case is being re-investigated from a fresh perspective.
It was Nikki's sister Kanchan who initially filed the FIR, claiming her sister was beaten by her husband Vipin, father-in-law Satyaveer, mother-in-law Daya, and brother-in-law Rohit, and then set on fire with flammable liquid. With new videos and evidence now in police possession, these allegations are under scrutiny, suggesting potentially disparate truths.
A CCTV footage uncovered during the investigation depicts Vipin standing outside his home just prior to the incident. Additionally, a previous case from last October in the Jarcha area of Greater Noida is being reviewed, involving allegations against Vipin of assaulting and threatening a girl named Preeti.

Hospital Memo States: Nikki Burnt from Gas Cylinder Explosion
According to a private hospital's memo, Nikki sustained burns from a gas cylinder explosion at home. Devendra, Vipin's cousin, brought her to the hospital. On the contrary, sister Kanchan accuses it of being a planned dowry murder. Devendra's statement adds complexity, as he mentions Nikki persistently asked for water and had breathing difficulties.
Statement by Vipin's Cousin Clouds Investigation
Devendra further stated that Vipin was not at home during the incident but at a nearby shop. Meanwhile, Nikki and Kanchan's father Bhikhari Singh has sought intervention from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, alleging his daughter was burnt alive for dowry. He claims the Bhati family demanded 3.6 million rupees and a car.

Father Claims: Money Given for Beauty Parlor
Bhikhari Singh stated he provided his daughters with funds to start a beauty parlor; making reels was not a motive for murder. A case under sections 103(1) (murder), 115(2) (inflicting injury), and 61(2) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) has been registered against the Bhati family at Kasna police station. Four accused have been arrested so far.
Three Key Points Anchoring Nikki's Death Case Investigation
The police investigation is now anchored on three key points: the forensic report of the flammable substance, new video clips, and Kanchan's shifting statements. These elements will determine whether Nikki's death was an accident caused by a gas cylinder explosion or a deliberate dowry murder conspiracy. Currently, Greater Noida police are re-evaluating the case based on new evidence and testimony.
