Delhi fridge murder case: Post-mortem report reveals Nikki died of suffocation

New Delhi, February 15: The post-mortem reports of Nikki Yadav, who was allegedly strangled by her boyfriend with a charging cable, revealed that she died due to suffocation, Delhi Police sources informed on Wednesday.

Nikki was found dead in a freezer at Delhi's Mitraon village. Her mortal remains were taken from Rao Tularam Memorial Hospital to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital for a post-mortem.

According to post-mortem reports, she died of suffocation. There were marks on her neck, but no other signs of injury were discovered on her body.

According to doctors, because there is no natural process in the fridge, it is difficult to determine the exact time of death. The viscera report has been preserved.
