Overview

• A purported CCTV video time-stamped around 5:42–5:47 pm shows husband Vipin Bhati outside a shop before rushing toward the house, a sequence officers say they are cross-checking against clips shared by Nikki’s sister and hospital footage.
• Police say the clip’s authenticity remains unverified as investigators examine digital files alongside witness statements to establish who was present at the critical moment.
• All four accused—Vipin, his parents Daya and Satveer, and his brother Rohit—have been arrested and booked under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita provisions including murder, with the father-in-law and brother-in-law nabbed on Monday.
• Vipin was shot in the leg during an alleged attempt to flee custody, treated in hospital, and remanded to 14-day judicial custody, according to Greater Noida police.
• Records show Vipin was named in a 2024 assault FIR linked to an alleged affair, while neighbors and family describe prior disputes over Nikki’s beauty parlour and social-media reels, factors now noted in the probe alongside a rival claim of a kitchen cylinder blast.
