A 23-year-old woman named Nikki Yadav was murdered earlier this month, allegedly by her boyfriend and live-in partner Sahil Gehlot. According to the police, Sahil had murdered Nikki in the middle of an argument regarding marriage plans.

Nikki Yadav and Sahil Gehlot had been in a relationship for several years and were also living together. Now, reports suggest that the two had gotten married in 2020 without informing their families, while Sahil had gotten married to another girl on the day of the crime.

Sahil Gehlot had allegedly strangled Nikki Yadav to death and then stored her body in a fridge, which is eerily similar to the Shraddha Walkar murder case, where prime accused Aaftab Poonawala murdered his live-in partner in a similar fashion.
