The husband of 28-year-old Nikki Bhati, who died after she was allegedly set on fire over a Rs 36-lakh dowry demand at her in-laws' home in Greater Noida, was shot on his leg while attempting to escape police custody, police said on Sunday.

Nikki Bhati was rushed to the hospital with serious burn injuries that evening after she was set on fire. In response, her sister Kanchan, who is married to Vipin's brother Rohit, has accused Vipin, along with his mother Daya, of setting Nikki on fire.
In an interview with NDTV, Nikki's father, Bhikari Singh Payla, said that he wished the accused to be shot. "They are killers, they should be shot, their home razed. My daughter was bringing up her son by running a parlour. They tortured her. The whole family was involved in the conspiracy, and they killed my daughter," he said, hours before Vipin was shot in his leg.
Over the incident, Senior police officer Sudhir Kumar said that they took Vipin to his home today to retrieve the bottle containing the flammable liquid used to burn Nikki. "He snatched a cop's pistol and opened fire. In retaliatory firing, he suffered a bullet injury in his leg," Sudhir Kumar said.
While speaking to ANI while he was admitted to the hospital, Vipin said, "I have not done anything. She died on her own." He also said, "Fights between husband and wife happen everywhere. It is not a big deal."
'Such people should be shot or hanged': Nikki's father

He requested the Yogi Adityanath government to take action, he said, "They shoot pickpockets in the leg, and they won't kill these murderers? This is a BJP government." He accused his daughter's husband, Vipin, was having affairs with someone else and wanted Nikki out of the way.

She was dragged by the hair and set on fire in front of her young son and her sister, who also married into the same family.
