Muskaan and her lover Sahil Shukla have been arrested for allegedly murdering her husband Saurabh Rajput at their Meerut home on the night of March 3. The body was chopped off into 15 pieces, put into a plastic drum and buried under cement. These pieces were recovered two weeks later after Muskaan confessed to her parents and they took her to the cops. Saurabh’s family had meanwhile filed a police after they could not contact him over the phone.
According to police sources, the investigation has revealed that Saurabh’s London visa was about to expire and he had planned to renew it during this visit home. Saurabh also wanted to take his wife and daughter to London with him. But Muskaan had rejected this plan and said she wanted to stay in Meerut, presumably to be with Sahil. Saurabh had then decided that he would take his daughter along and had also applied for a passport for her.
According to the probe so far, Muskaan drugged Saurabh with sleeping pills on the night of March 3. Once he dozed off, she stabbed him thrice with a knife. She then used the cut-throat razor to slit his throat. The task of severing the head from the torso fell to Sahil, who used a knife for this, the probe has found. The two then chopped off the body into 15 pieces. These pieces were thrown into the drum and sealed with wet cement.
According to the investigation and the accused’s statements, the initial plan was to pour mud over Saurabh’s body parts and plant a sapling in the drum. But later, Muskaan and Sahil considered the stench factor and decided that wet cement would be a better option to conceal the body. They made one mistake: they did not factor in the drum’s weight and when they called some labourers to dispose it of, they could not even lift it. Muskaan panicked and confessed to her parents.
The brutal murder of Saurabh has taken another shocking turn as new details continue to emerge. Accused Muskan and Sahil, who were arrested for the crime, are reportedly struggling for drugs in jail, revealing a new dimension to the case. According to sources, both were suffering from severe withdrawal symptoms and had to be treated at a deaddiction center inside the prison. On the very first day in jail, both created a ruckus due to drug cravings and are now under medical supervision.
The forensic team conducting Saurabh’s autopsy was left shaken by the brutality of the crime. According to the report: Muskan first stabbed Saurabh three times in the heart. She then decapitated him and chopped his body into multiple pieces to dispose of it. To fit the body into a plastic drum, the limbs were further severed and compressed. The body’s skin was found completely loose, and his teeth were barely intact. His hands were cut off at the wrists, and his legs were bent unnaturally to reduce the body’s size. The sheer savagery of the crime has sent shockwaves across the city.
Adding to the gruesome nature of the case, reports reveal that after committing the murder, Muskan and Sahil fled to Himachal Pradesh, where they partied at a nightclub. Video evidence shows Muskan celebrating Sahil’s birthday, feeding him cake, and dancing with him in the club. Days later, the couple also celebrated Holi together, showing no remorse for their actions.
The shocking details of the murder and the accused’s behavior after the crime have further fueled public outrage. Authorities are now investigating deeper into the case to uncover the full extent of the crime and the possible involvement of others.
