Another Shraddha Walker-like gruesome murder rocked Delhi on Tuesday after a man was arrested for allegedly killing his live-in partner and stuffing her body in a refrigerator at his dhaba located on the outskirts of Mitraon village in Najafgarh.
It is worth noting that the accused, identified as Sahil Gahlot, strangulated his live-in partner and married another woman hours after dumping her body in the fridge.
According to the preliminary investigation, the 24-year-old accused told Delhi Police that in 2018, he met the victim, Nikki Yadav, at a coaching centre in Uttam Nagar area. Some time later, they entered a relationship and started living together.
Sahil Gahlot said that his family was putting pressure on him to get married with some other woman and finally in December 2022, the engagement and marriage of the accused were fixed for February 9 and 10, respectively.
The accused did not inform Nikki about his engagement or marriage plans. Somehow, she came to know about this and confronted the accused and arguments started between the two. Later on, Sahil stangulated Nikki with a data cable kept in his car. After dumping the victim’s body, Sahil went back to his home and solemnised his marriage with another woman.
Sahil disclosed to the police that he had killed his girlfriend in the intervening night of February 9 and 10 Feb and married another woman hours later.
Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) Vikram Singh said that they received information on Tuesday morning that a woman had been murdered and her body was hidden at the dhaba on the outskirts of the village.
The accused is a resident of Mitraon village and has been apprehended. Meanwhile, the victim was a resident of Jhajjar in Haryana.
