The shocking murder of merchant navy officer Saurabh Rajput in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut has stunned the nation with its gruesome details and chilling revelations. The autopsy report has confirmed that Saurabh was stabbed in the heart three times, leading to his death, and his body was later dismembered and stuffed inside a drum filled with cement. His wife, Muskaan Rastogi, and her lover, Sahil Shukla, have been arrested for orchestrating and executing the horrifying crime. According to reports, Sahil manipulated Muskaan into believing that they could only start a new life together if she personally killed Saurabh. When Muskaan hesitated, Sahil held her hand and guided the knife into Saurabh’s heart three times, ensuring he was dead before they proceeded to chop up his body. This planned and cold-blooded murder has raised disturbing questions about toxic relationships, psychological manipulation, and the extent of human cruelty.
Investigations have revealed that Saurabh was first drugged into unconsciousness, rendering him unable to defend himself. With no resistance, Sahil forced Muskaan to sit on Saurabh’s chest while he handed her a kitchen knife, demonstrating how to stab directly into the heart. Despite her initial reluctance, Sahil physically assisted her in committing the crime, ensuring that Saurabh suffered three fatal stab wounds. However, their brutality did not stop there. The autopsy report further revealed gruesome details—Saurabh’s neck was severed, his legs were amputated, and his torso was cut apart, making the crime scene even more disturbing. The intensity of the stab wounds was so severe that his heart was irreparably damaged, indicating the use of extreme force. The doctors who conducted the post-mortem stated that Saurabh’s body was left in such a horrifying state that it became difficult to identify due to rigor mortis and cement damage.
To cover up their heinous crime, Muskaan and Sahil hatched a sinister plan. They decided to stuff Saurabh’s body parts into a drum, fill it with cement, and seal it shut to prevent the discovery of the remains. Once their gruesome disposal was complete, the duo left for a vacation to Himachal Pradesh, pretending as though nothing had happened. During this time, they misled Saurabh’s family by sending text messages from his phone, making it seem like he was still alive. This deception lasted for two weeks, until March 18, when the police discovered the truth and arrested them.
Adding another layer of darkness to this already shocking case, Saurabh’s family has accused Muskaan and Sahil of being involved in occult practices. His mother, Renu Devi, claimed that the murder was not just a result of an illicit affair but also driven by supernatural beliefs and rituals. She alleged, “Both Muskaan and Sahil were into occult practices. They killed my son by performing tantric rituals.” Muskaan’s parents also claimed that Sahil brainwashed their daughter, keeping her under his control and isolating her from her six-year-old child. They alleged that Sahil used tantric rituals to manipulate Muskaan, making her believe she had no option but to kill her husband. While police have not confirmed these allegations, authorities are exploring every angle, including possible links to occultism and psychological coercion.
The brutality of the crime, the detailed planning, and the shocking involvement of occult beliefs have made this case one of the most disturbing murder investigations in recent times. With the autopsy report now in police custody, further investigations are focusing on proving premeditation and psychological manipulation. Muskaan and Sahil remain in police custody, and they will soon face legal proceedings for the murder, conspiracy, and destruction of evidence. This case has not only exposed the horrors of toxic relationships and blind faith in superstitions but also serves as a stark reminder of the extreme lengths to which some individuals can go for personal desires.
As the investigation continues, the nation watches closely, awaiting justice for Saurabh Rajput. His brutal murder has raised questions about the influence of manipulative partners, the role of superstition in criminal behavior, and the need for vigilance in personal relationships. With more details likely to emerge, this case serves as a grim warning about the dangers of unchecked psychological influence, emotional dependence, and blind trust in toxic relationships.
