Nikki Murder Case | Are You Aware Dowry Is Illegal? Nikki Bhati's Father's Chilling Response

Описание: Six decades after dowry was banned in India, a 28-year-old woman living less than an hour from national capital Delhi was burnt alive, allegedly by her husband and mother-in-law, over a demand of getting Rs 36 lakh from her parents as dowry.

NDTV spoke to Nikki Bhati's father Bhikari Singh Payla and asked him why he married her daughters into a family that asked for dowry. His reply summed up the gap between laws and reality. "In our clan, marriages happen through (dowry) mediators. And I had married off my daughter well. The wedding happened during demonetisation in 2016," he replied.

Mr Payla married off his daughters, Nikki and Kanchan, to brothers Vipin and Rohit on December 10, 2016. During the wedding, the family gifted a Scorpio SUV, cash and gold to their sons-in-law. But the demands increased over time and the latest was a massive sum of Rs 36 lakh. On Thursday evening, an argument broke out between Nikki and Vipin. He assaulted her and allegedly set her on fire with the help from his mother Daya. Vipin, his brother Rohit and parents Daya and Satyavir have been arrested.
