00:00Was Whipin Bhatti not inside the house when Nikki was set on fire?
00:03This CCTV footage recorded outside a shop near the Bhatti residence shows Nikki's husband
00:07Whipin briefly standing behind a parked car before sprinting towards the house and returning
00:12moments later.
00:13Soon after, an elderly man and neighbours rushed towards the residence while women nearby appeared
00:18visibly alarmed.
00:19Police say the clip is under probe and its authenticity is still being verified.
00:22Another video adds to the outrage.
00:24Nikki's father-in-law, named as an accused in the FIR, can be seen lighting a funeral
00:29with the Byron actively taking part in the last riots.
00:31This came just a day after the 28-year-old allegedly died after being set ablaze over dowry in Great
00:36Anoida.

00:41at the cremation.

00:46set her on fire, has raised a serious question.
00:48How was the accused allowed to perform the cremation just hours before being booked for
00:52murder?
00:53Police have now launched an investigation into this angle.
00:55Meanwhile, Whipin, his parents Satvir and Daya and his brother Rohit have all been arrested.
01:00On 24 August, police shot Whipin in the leg, alleging he tried to escape custody.
01:04The National Commission for Women has stepped in, demanding a time-bound probe, strict action
01:08against the accused and security for Nikki's family and witnesses.
01:12The case continues to raise unsettling questions.
01:15First, how Nikki Bharti's in-laws, despite being accused, were allowed to perform her last
01:19riots?
