Nine months after the death of 28-year-old Nikki Bhati, the case has taken a series of dramatic turns. Her family has reportedly reached a settlement with the in-laws accused in the dowry death case, while her sister, who earlier was a key witness, turned hostile and backtracked from her earlier claims.
Nikki's father Bhikari Singh confirmed the compromise on Wednesday and said the accused family agreed to transfer property to Nikki's son.
Kanchan, Nikki's sister, was initially central to the investigation. However, in her latest statement before the court, she reportedly changed her version, stating that no one was inside the house when the incident took place.
The changing statements in court have now affected the prosecution's position in the case. The defence will seek bail soon, while the police were not informed about the compromise between the two families.
