A video circulating on social media shows Satyavir Bhati, the father of Noida dowry murder accused Vipin, cremating his daughter-in-law Nikki on Tuesday. 

This follows the arrest of Vipin Bhati, his mother Dayavati, and his brother Rohit, in connection with the alleged torture and murder of makeover artist and social media influencer Nikki Bhati (Vipin's wife). Satyavir was said to be absconding.

However, he can be seen in the video performing Nikki's last rites, in addition to Nikki's brother Atul, and another of her relatives.

THE WEEK could not independently verify the video.

This contradicts Nikki's sister Kanchan's version of the story, according to which all of her in-laws had fled after her sister was set ablaze.
