In a horrifying case that has sent shockwaves across the nation, Muskaan Rastogi and her lover Sahil Shukla have been arrested for the gruesome murder of Muskaan’s husband, Saurabh Rajput. The chilling details of the crime reveal a well-planned execution involving drugging, stabbing, and dismemberment, all to eliminate Saurabh and continue their illicit affair.
Premeditated Murder: A Sinister Plan Unfolds
According to police investigations, Muskaan purchased two knives for ₹800 nearly a week before the crime and even rehearsed how to stab her husband multiple times. Doubting her skills, she later bought a cut-throat razor, which was ultimately used to behead Saurabh after he was drugged and stabbed on March 3.
Crime Scene Horror: Body Chopped Into 15 Pieces
Investigators have revealed that Muskaan and Sahil dismembered Saurabh’s body into 15 pieces, stuffing them into a plastic drum. Their initial plan was to bury the remains under soil and plant a sapling on top to avoid detection. However, fearing that the stench would give them away, they instead sealed the drum with wet cement.
Motive: Drugs, Betrayal, and Custody Battle
The murder stemmed from a mix of addiction, infidelity, and a custody battle over their six-year-old daughter. Saurabh, who worked in London, was in Meerut to celebrate his daughter’s birthday and planned to take her abroad. However, Muskaan rejected this, preferring to stay in Meerut with Sahil.
Saurabh had even considered divorce after discovering Muskaan’s affair but later changed his mind for their daughter’s sake. Unfortunately, Muskaan and Sahil saw him as an obstacle and plotted his brutal murder.
The Mistake That Led to Their Arrest
Despite their meticulous planning, the duo overlooked a crucial detail—the drum’s extreme weight due to the cement. Unable to dispose of it themselves, they called laborers to help, but the workers couldn’t lift it. Panicked, Muskaan confessed to her parents, who immediately took her to the police.
Investigation and Arrests
Saurabh’s family had already filed a missing complaint, which helped police connect the dots. After Muskaan’s confession, authorities recovered Saurabh’s remains two weeks after the murder and arrested both Muskaan and Sahil.
Legal Action and Public Outrage
The shocking murder has sparked outrage, with many calling for strict punishment for the accused. Law enforcement officials have assured a thorough investigation and swift justice.
This chilling case of premeditated murder serves as a grim reminder of how betrayal, addiction, and greed can lead to unspeakable crimes.
