Greater Noida: A spine-chilling incident has come to light from Uttar Pradesh's Greater Noida, where a woman has reportedly died after being burnt alive by her husband and in-laws. The husband and in-laws were demanding a dowry of ₹35 Lakh.
The deceased, identified as Nikki, aged around 28, was allegedly doused with petrol and set on fire by her husband and In-laws on Thursday.
Married in December 2016, Nikki, a resident of Rupbas in Dadri, had reportedly endured prolonged harassment.

A horrifying video has surfaced online, showing Nikki engulfed in flames as she descends the stairs of the building.
Reportedly, on the night of August 21, Nikki was brutally thrashed and then inflammable material was poured on her and she was set on fire.
