Meerut district court has sentenced Saurabh Rajput's wife Muskan Rastogi and her lover Sahil Shukla to punishment for his murder. The crime, known as the Meerut Blue Drum case, unfolded on March 3, 2025, when Saurabh's body was discovered inside a blue plastic drum filled with cement. The court heard 126 hearings and testimony from over 22 witnesses before rendering its verdict after a 576-day trial.
The judge reserved the sentencing, with the final decision expected in 15 days. Muskan had initially left Meerut with Sahil, posting photos and videos of their so-called vacation to create an alibi. Their arrest came after Saurabh's brother Rahul discovered his sibling's missing person status, found Muskan and Sahil together, and noticed a foul odor inside the house.
The family is seeking the harshest possible punishment, with Saurabh's mother Renu Devi expressing confidence in the judicial system's ability to deliver justice.
