Meerut Murder Case: S*x, Lies & Betrayal – Merchant Navy Officer’s Life Ends in Cement Drum

A crime thriller: Summary of Meerut murder case: S*x, lies, and betrayal In a horrific incident that has left the country rattled, a Merchant Navy officer, Saurabh Singh Rajput, was allegedly murdered by his wife Muskan and her lover Sahil Shukla.

The specifics of the crime, the premeditated plotting, the brutality of the crime itself, have left many people wondering how low human depravity can sink.

So let’s get to the bottom of this tragic story and discover what went wrong.

The Crime That Shook Meerut

It started when Muskan and her husband, Saurabh, walked out of their neighborhood and told everyone they were going to Shimla and Manali on vacation. Unknown to the workers at the hotel, this was a ruse to conceal a terrible crime. A few days later, Muskan went back to her parents’ house, and her mother casually asked about Saurabh. When asked for an explanation, Muskan delivered a bombshell: “I killed him.”

What came next were a series of revelations that would reveal a well-orchestrated murder. Saurabh’s body was discovered stuffed into a cement-filled drum in their bathroom. Investigators found out that Muskan was not alone when she had involved in killing Saurabh, her boyfriend Sahil also ensured Saurabh's death by stabbing him multiple times, cutting his body into pieces and dump them in the ugliest post murder way without thinking.

The Tragic Love Story That Became Toxic

To see how it got to this, we have to turn back to the start. Saurabh and Muskan's love story was a typical one. Saurabh, a B.Tech graduate, met Muskan at a kirana store in 2015. The pair fell in love, and, despite opposition from their families because of caste differences, battled to wed. It was love at first sight, and for a time, everything was perfect.

In 2016, Saurabh found work in the Merchant Navy, and the two relocated to London. They even had a daughter, Pihu, in 2019. But cracks formed in their relationship. Saurabh’s work kept him away from home for extended periods, and left Muskan lonely and alone.

Affair and the Shithole Downward Spiral

During one of Saurabh’s stints away, Muskan became close to Sahil Shukla, a Chartered Accountant who lived in their locality. What began as idle chit-chat quickly escalated into an affair. Muskan’s loneliness and Saurabh’s long work hours and tramps created the perfect set-up for betrayal.

Saurabh was shattered when he found out about the affair by looking at Muskan’s phone. He attempted to save the relationship for their daughter, despite the betrayal. Muskan, however, had long made up her mind. At a point, Saurabh even admitted that she didn't want to be continued being with him, but he never lost hopes.

Brutal Murder

Saurabh returned on February 24 to be able to celebrate on the 25th his wife Muskan birthday and on the 28th their daughter Pihu’s birthday. The celebrations appeared to be normal, but off camera, Muskan and Sahil were conspired to murder Saurabh.

On the night of March 4, Muskan and Sahil drugged Saurabh’s food while he was sleeping. When he became unconscious, they stabbed him multiple time. Saurabh could not move or scream because he was on drugs and for half an hour he endured tremendous pain, till he finally succumbed to his injuries.”

The assailants then dismembered his body and bought a drum and cement to try to cover up the crime. But their plan ran into a hitch when they found themselves unable to lift the heavy drum. With no other option, they left it in the bathroom and went for a “vacation” to Shimla and Manali, using the trip as an alibi.

Confession and Arrest

When Muskan returned, her mother began to suspect something, because Saurabh was absent. Pressured, Muskan confessed to killing the victim, leading to her and Sahil’s arrest. Saurabh’s body was found stuffed in the cement-filled drum, and the terrifying details of the gruesome murder emerged.

The Big Takeaway: What We Can Learn

This case is a chilling example of how toxic relationships can explode. If loneliness and dissatisfaction can explain Muskan’s actions, they can never justify the lawlessness of crime.

Saurabh’s tragic fate also serves to illustrate the necessity of knowing when to step back from a toxic relationship.

And Sahil’s role begs the question of what a third party has to do with shattering marriages. It’s a wake-up call for society to take an assessment of the emotional and psychological toll of infidelity and betrayal.

Conclusion

The Meerut murder is a harrowing story of love gone slant, treachery, and how far individuals could go when their desires consume them. As the country processes the trauma of this crime, we must turn instead to the lessons it holds. It takes trust, communication, and mutual respect to have relationships. When these elements are absent, the impact can be devastating.
