Previously, police had arrested Nikki's husband and mother-in-law.
On Sunday, law enforcement officers detained Nikki's husband, Vipin, after a dramatic encounter. As the police took him to recover the incendiary substance, he attempted to escape by snatching an officer's pistol. During the subsequent confrontation, Vipin shot at the police, prompting them to respond in kind, leading to a gunshot wound in his leg.
Following the injury, Vipin was arrested and taken to a hospital for treatment. Subsequently, his mother-in-law was also taken into custody.
It is pertinent to note that Nikki's husband had previously assaulted her over dowry demands before setting her ablaze with a flammable liquid. Neighbors rushed her to the hospital, but tragically, she could not be saved. Nikki's elder sister filed an FIR against her husband, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law.

Nikki and Vipin Married in 2016
Nikki's father reveals that the demands from her in-laws were ever-increasing, reaching the hefty sum of 3.6 million rupees as dowry. Both sisters married into the same family in 2016, with Nikki marrying Vipin Bhati and Kanchan marrying Rohit Bhati.
A Scorpio car was demanded at the wedding, which they provided. Then, they asked for a Bullet motorcycle, which was also given. Yet, the demands only escalated, leading to the 3.6 million rupees request.
Neither brother worked; they consistently extorted money post-marriage. At times, they demanded the family Mercedes or their Scorpio. In a bid to support his daughter, Nikki's father helped her open a beauty parlor since Vipin was unemployed. Unfortunately, he began stealing money from the business.
