In a major move in the murder case of Nikki Bhati, police have stepped up their investigations with a number of raids in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR). As the investigation goes on, new clues point to the participation of the victim’s in-laws in the horrible crime. These include her husband’s father and older brother.
Raids in Delhi and the NCR
Officials say that raids were planned and carried out in a number of places in Delhi, Noida, and nearby NCR areas late Thursday night. Reports that the main suspect might be hiding with his family were acted upon by the Crime Branch and local police units, according to sources. People say that the raids found important proof that could make the case even stronger.
Leads Point to Husband’s Family
Investigators said that early results show that Vipin Bhati’s father and older brother may have been directly or indirectly involved in planning, covering up, or helping to carry out the crime. Senior officials gave hints that these family members’ statements would soon be recorded, and if the proof is found to be strong, arrests could happen. The exact roles of these family members are still being confirmed.
Police also think that the accused may have gotten help from his family members to get away from the police after he had committed the crime. This part of the case is now the main focus of the probe.
Case History
People in Noida and Delhi were shocked when they heard about Nikki Bhati’s murder earlier this month. Vipin Bhati, Nikki’s husband, is said to have killed her after a heated argument. A lot of people were angry about what happened, and on social media, people were calling for quick justice.
Several people have been arrested so far, and police have already found forensic proof that connects Vipin to the crime scene. But the idea of a bigger plot within the family had not been looked at closely until the recent raids shed new light on it.
Words from the police
A senior police officer in charge of the case said, “We have important clues that point to close family members being involved.” Raids are being done to check proof and keep it safe. If found guilty, no one will be saved.
The officer also said that the probe is being done with the utmost care because the crime was so horrible and there is a lot of public interest in it.
What Will Happen Next?
The authorities have said that the case will be looked at from every point. It’s possible that the accused’s father and brother will play a bigger part in the coming days as the interrogation goes on.
The cops aren’t saying much about the specifics right now, but the most recent events suggest that the case is quickly moving toward a decisive breakthrough.
