The National Commission for Women (NCW) has raised an alarm regarding the horrific death of 26-year-old Nikki Bhati in Greater Noida, reportedly at the hands of her husband and in-laws over dowry demands. The NCW is demanding urgent arrests and a thorough investigation.

NCW Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar has been actively involved, contacting the Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police to ensure swift action and protection for Bhati's family and witnesses. Several arrests have already been made, including Nikki's husband Vipin Bhati and his family members.

This tragic incident reignites the debate on dowry practices, as Rahatkar stresses that these cases underscore the need for societal reflection. She emphasizes that while laws exist, societal attitudes must also change to prevent such brutal acts.
