Nikki Yadav Murder: Sahil Gehlot taken to temple where he married Nikki Yadav in 2020

Sahil Gehlot, accused of killing his first wife Nikki Yadav and hiding her body in a refrigerator, was on Sunday taken by the Delhi Police to the Arya Samaj temple in Greater Noida, where the couple got married.

According to sources, the police have recorded the statements of the temple priest and witnesses who were present at the time of the wedding.

Gehlot allegedly killed Yadav, stuffed her body in the fridge of his southwest Delhi dhaba and left to marry another woman. The incident came to light on February 14, Valentine's Day, four days after the crime. Police have so far arrested Gehlot, his father and four others — two cousins ​​and two friends — in connection with the case. The police claimed that they planned to get rid of Yadav so that Sahil Gehlot could remarry a woman of the family's choice.

The police on Saturday recorded the statement of Nikki Yadav's younger sister. In her statement, she denied knowing about her sister's marriage to Sahil Gehlot. She told police she knew they were good friends. Gehlot married Yadav at an Arya Samaj temple in 2020. The couple did not inform their families about their marriage. "However, when Gehlot's parents started looking for a girl for his marriage and started pressuring him to take interest in marriage..., he finally revealed to his family that he was already married," a police officer said earlier.

When Gehlot's family came to know about his marriage to Yadav, they expressed their displeasure that he had married a girl of his choice without informing them. Nikki Yadav's parents told the police that they were not aware of her relationship or her marriage to Gehlot.
