Noida : The husband of the woman in the Noida dowry death case, Vipin, was having an affair with a woman and was caught red-handed by his wife, Nikki. In October last year, an FIR was filed in Noida after the girl with whom Vipin was having an affair alleged that he had beaten her when his wife caught them together.
The woman alleged that Vipin and his friend Tushar called her outside her village, forced her into their vehicle, and drove away. She further claimed that they physically assaulted her, verbally abused her, and snatched her phone. She also stated that Vipin and his friend threatened to kill her.
Nikki was taken to the Fortis Hospital on August 21 where the cause of the burns was written as a cylinder blast in the medical legal case. However, when police reached the crime scene, no evidence of a cylinder blast was found. Instead, a thinner bottle and a lighter were recovered from the spot.
Police will also take the hospital’s CCTV footage to see who were all present there. Eyewitness Kanchan, the victim’s sister, gave a statement that Nikki’s husband and in-laws set her on fire and fled. The in-laws said they themselves had taken Nikki to the hospital. “If we had set her on fire, why would we take her to the hospital?,” they asked.
Police checked Kanchan’s mobile phone and found that the video she made of Nikki burning in the fire was recorded at 5:45 pm. This means Nikki must have been set on fire at around 5:44 pm. Based on this timing, police will now use CCTV footage, call details record, and location data to determine where each family member was at that time.
