BJP Yuva Morcha member Shaurya Mishra recently shared a collage of four photos on his X handle, claiming that a shocking incident had occurred in Gurugram – a 24-year-old college student named Nikita Agarwal had been murdered by Arif Khan, her classmate. Khan, Mishra claimed, blackmailed her, forced her into prostitution and finally murdered her.
Citing sources and the police, Mishra also wrote that Nikita and Arif were in love and would often meet at an OYO hotel instead of attending college. He claimed that during the course of the relationship, which lasted approximately six months, Khan took private videos and photographs of Nikita and began pressuring her to have relationships with wealthy men. When Nikita resisted, Khan began blackmailing her by threatening to make her private videos viral. When Nikita, fed up with this blackmail, threatened to tell the police, he threatened to kill her.
It was also claimed in the X post that Khan feared Nikita might reveal his secret, so he conspired with three hotel associates to eliminate her. Arif first lured Nikita to the hotel on the pretext of deleting the video. After a fight in the room, Arif, and the three others, held her hostage, gangraped her, then strangled her to death. The accused dumped Nikita’s body in the woods in the dead of night, according to the post.
It also said that three days later, police recovered the body and began investigating. After a thorough investigation, they arrested Arif Khan and the three others and that they have been sent to jail in judicial custody.
