Merchant Navy Officer Murdered by Wife and Her Lover in Meerut

Muskan Rastogi and Sahil Shukla confessed to killing Saurabh Rajput, dismembering his body, and sealing it in a cement-filled drum; both are in custody as investigations continue.

Saurabh Rajput was murdered on March 4, 2025, by his wife Muskan Rastogi and her lover Sahil Shukla, who drugged and stabbed him before dismembering his body.
The body was concealed in a drum filled with cement and discovered after a foul smell and a missing person complaint prompted police action.
Muskan and Sahil attempted to mislead investigators by sending messages from Saurabh's phone and traveling to Shimla after the crime.
Muskan's parents have publicly disowned her and demanded the death penalty for both her and Sahil, citing betrayal and the gruesome nature of the crime.
Police revealed the murder was premeditated, with Muskan purchasing knives and sedatives in advance and manipulating Sahil into participating in the crime.
