In a new twist to the high-profile Greater Noida dowry death case, Nikki Bhati’s sister-in-law Meenakshi has alleged that she too faced years of harassment, assault, and dowry demands.

Meenakshi, who married Nikki’s elder brother Rohit in 2016, claimed she was humiliated from the first day of her marriage. “I was not allowed to use a phone or talk to anyone. I faced beatings and constant demands for money and vehicles,” she alleged while speaking from her parents’ home in Dadri’s Palla village, where she has lived since leaving her in-laws’ house within six months of marriage, PTI reported.

She alleged that her family had already given a Ciaz car and gold at the time of the wedding, but Bhati, her sister Kanchan, and their family kept demanding more, including a Scorpio SUV and additional cash.
