Sources familiar with the investigation told news agency ANI that Sahil Gehlot, the accused in the Najafgarh murder case, has claimed that he drove around with his lover Nikki Yadav for hours before killing her between 8:30 and 9:00 am on February 10th.
The discovery of a young woman’s body inside a fridge at a dhaba in Delhi, allegedly murdered by her former live-in partner, has shocked the nation. Investigators have now uncovered that the murder didn’t occur secretly in the dead of night, but rather in broad daylight at a public location.
Sahil Gehlot, the accused in the murder case of his former lover Nikki Yadav, has confessed to driving around with her for hours before killing her the next day in a public parking lot near Nigambodh Ghat in Delhi, according to sources cited by news agency ANI. He also admitted to deleting all data, including WhatsApp chats, from Nikki’s phone.
The Delhi police are gathering evidence, including CCTV footage and forensic examination, to build a strong case against him. CCTV footage has been retrieved from Nikki’s rented accommodation, where she was seen hours before the murder.
The police have also questioned people in the area and are examining CCTV footage from the surrounding locations. The police stated that Sahil strangled Nikki with a data cable after an argument broke out about his secret wedding scheduled for the following day. He later disposed of her body in a refrigerator at his dhaba. Sahil was arrested on February 14 and taken into custody for further interrogation. On Wednesday, a Delhi court granted the police a five-day custody of him.
