Delhi Police arrested a man for allegedly killing his 22-year-old live-in partner and storing her body in a fridge in a dhaba in Delhi’s Najafgarh.
According to the police, the deceased has been identified as Nikki Yadav.

The investigation also revealed that the accused had not informed his family members about his relationship. Sahil’s family was pressurising him to get married to some other woman and finalised his marriage date for February 10. When Nikki got to know about it, she confronted Sahil and an argument started between the duos. Sahil strangulated Nikki with the help of a data cable of his mobile phone kept in his car said Delhi police.
After that, he went to his dhaba and put her dead body in a fridge. The dhaba is situated on a vacant plot on the outskirts of Mitraon village. He then went to his home and solemnised his marriage to another woman.
This recent case closely resembles the Shraddha Walkar murder case, where a 27-year-old woman was strangulated by her live-in partner, Aaftab Amin Poonawala. He later chopped her body into 35 pieces and stored it in a 300-litre refrigerator before throwing its parts in a Delhi forest.
Shraddha Walkar’s murder shook the nation after the Delhi Police arrested Aaftab on November 12, 20232. The autopsy report of the bones of Shraddha Walkar revealed that her body was chopped into 35 pieces with a saw-like object.
Moreover, Aaftab, in his confession, told police that the couple had been at odds since moving to Delhi and he killed her after an argument.
