"Should've Been Shot In Chest": Dowry Victim's Father On Accused's Encounter

Vipin Bhati, the main accused who killed his 28-year-old wife Nikki by assaulting and setting her on fire at home in Greater Noida, said he has "no remorse" for the act. Speaking from the hospital bed after he was shot in an encounter with police this afternoon, Vipin said he did not kill his wife and she "died on her own".

"I have no remorse. I haven't killed her. She died on her own. Husbands and wives often have fights...it is very common," he told news agency ANI. Vipin suffered a gunshot wound in his leg when he attempted to escape custody. According to the police, the murder accused tried to snatch a pistol from the police while they were on their way to collect evidence. The cops then opened fire and shot him. Vipin was subsequently taken to a hospital for treatment.  Dowry Victim's Father told NDTV that police should shot him in the chest.
