The case dates back to March 2025, when Saurabh Rajput, a former Merchant Navy officer, was murdered in Meerut. Rajput had returned from London to his home on February 24, 2025, according to the prosecution’s account.
Investigators alleged that Muskan and Sahil planned the murder because Rajput’s presence had become an obstacle to their relationship. The prosecution said the two killed him, cut his body into pieces and concealed the remains inside a large blue plastic drum before sealing it with cement.
Police registered the case on March 18, 2025, following a complaint by Rajput’s brother. Officers later recovered the remains from the house and arrested Muskan and Sahil.
