Summary
- Nikki, a woman in Greater Noida, allegedly burned alive by husband and family
- Abuse began months after marriage in 2016, despite interventions
- Incident occurred in front of 7-year-old son
On August 24th, 2025, a horrific incident of dowry-related violence came to light in Greater Noida, India. According to reports, a woman named Nikki was allegedly burned alive by her husband Vipin Bhati and his family, in a gruesome act that took place in front of Nikki's seven-year-old son.
The tragedy is the culmination of years of alleged dowry harassment that Nikki had endured since her marriage to Vipin in 2016. Nikki's sister, who is also married into the same family, stated that the abuse began just six months after their weddings, with the in-laws showing a complete lack of respect towards the women. "My sister had no respect for us," she said.
Despite repeated interventions, the abuse reportedly only worsened over the years, leading to Nikki's horrific death. This case highlights the persistent and disturbing issue of dowry-related violence in India, where over 6,000 such deaths are recorded annually. While Vipin Bhati has been arrested, the in-laws are reportedly absconding, underscoring the challenges in addressing this deep-rooted social problem.
