Muskan Rastogi has become the center of public outrage after being accused of brutally murdering her husband, Saurabh Rajput, with the help of her lover Sahil Shukla in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. The case has sparked intense discussions online, with netizens expressing their anger on X (formerly Twitter) and other social media platforms. But who exactly is Muskan Rastogi, and why has she become a name that people are condemning?
Muskan Rastogi: A Wife Turned Accused Murderer
Muskan was married to 35-year-old Saurabh Rajput, a Merchant Navy officer posted in London. Their love marriage in 2016 had defied family opposition, and they had a daughter together. On the surface, their relationship seemed fine, but behind closed doors, Muskan was involved with Sahil Shukla—a relationship that ultimately led to Saurabh’s gruesome murder.
The Brutal Murder That Sparked Public Outrage
Saurabh had returned to Meerut to celebrate his wife and daughter’s birthday. However, instead of a joyful reunion, he fell victim to a horrifying murder plot. According to Uttar Pradesh Police, Muskan and Sahil sedated Saurabh with anesthesia, killed him, cut his body into pieces, and sealed the remains in a drum filled with cement to cover up their crime.
For 15 days, the crime remained undiscovered until police found Saurabh’s decomposed body in a rented house.
Muskan’s Shocking Escape and Arrest
After committing the murder, Muskan abandoned her daughter at her parents’ home and fled to Shimla with Sahil. However, upon returning home, she confessed to her mother, leading to her arrest along with Sahil.
Social Media’s Explosive Reaction
Since Tuesday night, social media has been flooded with angry reactions. Users on X have called Muskan a “betrayer” and a “cold-blooded murderer”, demanding strictest punishment. Some users have compared her crime to infamous murder cases, while others expressed concern about the rise in such betrayals within marriages.
A widely shared comment read: “You may find thousands of enemies, but never a wife like this.”
