New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n
The Delhi woman, whose live-in partner allegedly murdered her and stored her body in the fridge in an incident similar to the Shraddha Walkar murder case, was strangled with a data cable, police sources said today. Sahil Gehlot, who was arrested, has confessed to killing his girlfriend Nikki Yadav, 23, and also led the police to her body, they added.<\/p>\n
Before the murder, the couple had a heated argument inside a car that has been seized, said the sources. He also got married to another woman on the day of the murder.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old pharma graduate, whose family runs a dhaba in west Delhi, panicked after committing the murder and decided to stuff the body inside the fridge, police said, adding that the body has been sent for autopsy.<\/p>\n
The police traced him after a local filed a missing complaint about Nikki. Her family was clueless about her whereabouts all this while.<\/p>\n
Nikki and Sahil met while preparing for medical entrance exams and were in a live-in relationship for years. But she was unaware of Sahil’s wedding that was fixed long back.<\/p>\n
Her father, Sunil Yadav, demanded death penalty for the accused. The family is on their way to Delhi from their village in Haryana’s Jhajjar to receive Nikki’s body.<\/p>\n
The incident finds an eerie similarity with the Shraddha Walkar murder case in Delhi last year. Shraddha was allegedly murdered by her live-in partner Aaftab Poonawalla, who chopped her body into several pieces and stored them in a 300-litre fridge before disposing them in a forest area, police had said.<\/p>\n
