Overview

  • An undated CCTV video circulating online and a private‑hospital memo citing a gas cylinder blast have introduced competing timelines that investigators have not yet authenticated.
  • Police are cross‑checking the CCTV timestamps with family‑shot videos and hospital records to reconstruct events around the August 21 incident.
  • An inflammable solution recovered from Nikki’s room has been sent for forensic analysis, according to officers involved in the probe.
  • Husband Vipin Bhati, his parents Satveer and Daya, and brother Rohit are under arrest in the case; police say Vipin was shot in the leg during an alleged escape attempt.
  • A clip showing the father‑in‑law at the cremation and a 2024 assault FIR against Vipin are part of materials under review as authorities consider all angles.
