Chilling new revelations have surfaced in the brutal murder of merchant navy officer Saurabh Rajput, whose dismembered body was found stuffed inside a cement-filled drum in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut. The autopsy report has confirmed that Rajput was stabbed three times in the heart with extreme force before his body was cut into pieces.
According to police reports, Saurabh’s wife, Muskaan Rastogi, and her lover, Sahil Shukla, allegedly drugged him before committing the gruesome crime on March 4. Investigators revealed that as Muskaan hesitated, Sahil handed her a knife and urged her to stab Saurabh in the heart three times, promising her a new life together.
Doctors involved in the post-mortem stated that the knife penetrated deeply, causing severe damage to the heart. His neck was severed, legs amputated, hands cut off at the wrists, and the torso dismembered—a level of brutality that has left police and forensic experts stunned.
After the murder, Muskaan and Sahil embarked on a vacation to Himachal Pradesh, all while deceiving Saurabh’s family by sending them messages from his phone to avoid suspicion. However, their horrifying act was uncovered, leading to their swift arrest.
The case has taken an even more sinister turn, with allegations of occult practices being linked to the crime. Saurabh’s mother, Renu Devi, has claimed that Muskaan and Sahil were deeply involved in tantric rituals and performed black magic before killing her son. His in-laws, Kavita and Pramod Rastogi, have also alleged that Sahil manipulated Muskaan using occult practices, isolating her from their six-year-old daughter.
While the police are yet to confirm the occult angle, Superintendent of Police (City) Ayush Vikram Singh assured that all aspects of the case are being thoroughly investigated.
