New Delhi : Nikki Yadav's live-in partner Sahil Gehlot during interrogation has claimed that his initial plan was to show the murder as a road accident, Delhi Police sources said on Monday. Sahil further claimed that he had decided to push Nikki out of the car. However the plan could not be executed and he killed Nikki at Nigambodh Ghat, the police sources added.
Notably, Sahil's police remand ends today. He is the prime accused in the Nikki Yadav murder case. Delhi's Dwarka court on Friday granted two-days' police remand of five the accused. Delhi Police earlier told ANI that the Crime Branch had arrested five persons, including Sahil's father Virendra in connection with the case on charges of helping his son in the "conspiracy".
Sahil's father, Ashish, Naveen, Amar, and Lokesh were arrested by Crime Branch. According to police sources, Sahil's father Virender expressed no remorse and had no qualms during the course of the interrogation. Sahil's father Birender already has a crime branch and a murder case against him. According to police sources, the father knew everything before Nikki Yadav was murdered and he supported Sahil. Virendra apparently told the police that they had to get Nikki out of the way by any means, the sources added.
