In a horrifying incident, a 28-year-old woman named Nikki Bhati, a resident of Sirsa village in Greater Noida, was allegedly set on fire by her husband and mother-in-law over repeated dowry demands on August 21, 2025. She was tortured and told not to post reels on Instagram, and reopening her parlour was allowed. On Sunday, Nikki’s husband, Vipin Bhati, was sent to 14-day judicial custody, and his mother-in-law, Daya Bhati, was arrested. In the fresh development, Nikki’s brother-in-law has been nabbed, the third arrest in the case so far.
