In a heated argument that ensued after Sahil Gehlot strangled his live-in partner and stuffed her body inside a refrigerator, police claimed on Wednesday. Sahil Gehlot had danced and enjoyed himself with his friends at his engagement ceremony on February 9.
Gehlot, 24, reportedly got married the next day.
Gehlot is accused of strangling Nikki Yadav to death and stuffing her body inside a refrigerator at his dhaba (restaurant) in southwest Delhi.
Only on February 14 did the crime become apparent, according to the police, when Nikki Yadav’s body, who was 23 at the time, was found inside the refrigerator after Gehlot had been questioned about it. According to the police, Gehlot visited Yadav at his rental home in Uttam Nagar after the engagement party.
Yadav allegedly persuaded Gehlot to take a quick trip before his wedding on February 10 during his stay there, according to the reports.
During the second day of questioning, a senior officer claimed Gehlot admitted to being “in double mind” and unable to decide whether he wanted to continue living with his live-in partner or wed the woman his parents had chosen for him.
When describing the events, the suspect told police that he had left Yadav’s home about 15 days prior to the incident, but that after getting engaged on February 9, he went to her house in Uttam Nagar and spent the night there.

“When Yadav tried to book Gehlot’s ticket through a travel app, his ticket could not be booked even though she had already made plans that she wanted to travel to Goa with him and had already purchased her tickets. They decided to visit Himachal Pradesh as a result of their plan change.
The bus will leave from the Kashmere Gate ISBT, the officer said. “They went to Nizamuddin railway station in his car where they found out that they will have to board a bus from Anand Vihar bus Terminus,” the officer said.
The accused parked his car at Kashmere Gate and they both got into a conversation about his upcoming wedding, according to the police.
Gehlot admitted to police that, while they were speaking, Yadav expressed her displeasure with their engagement and the fact that he was about to wed someone else. She persuaded him to accompany her on a trip to Himachal Pradesh. Gehlot was conflicted because he felt pressure from his family to wed the woman.
