“We were being tortured, our in-laws would tell us they did not get this or that during the wedding. They asked us to get Rs 36 lakh from our home. I was also assaulted between 1.30 am and 4 am on Thursday. They told me, 'We have got dowry for one (sister), what about the other? You are better off dead. We will marry again'. I was hit several times and I was not in my senses the entire day,” Kanchan said.

On Thursday night, the woman was thrashed by her husband and in-laws and set on fire in front of her son. In the video, Nikki is being thrashed by her husband, Vipin. Her husband and a woman were seen pulling her by her hair. Nikki was seen hobbling down the stairs while on fire and sitting on the floor with her burn marks clearly visible in the video.

“That same evening, they brutally assaulted my sister in front of me and the children. They then threw some liquid on her and set her ablaze in front of my eyes. I tried to save her, but I could not. Someone took her to the hospital. I don't know who. I had fallen unconscious... I want justice. I want my in-laws to suffer the way they made my sister suffer,” Kanchan added.

Nikki was set ablaze in front of her son. “They poured something on mumma, slapped her and then set her ablaze using a lighter,” her son said.
