The suspects in the notorious Meerut murder case involving Saurabh Rajput, his wife Muskan Rastogi, and her lover Sahil Shukla, are currently receiving treatment for drug withdrawal symptoms at a de-addiction center located within the Charan Singh district jail.

Allegedly, the pair mutilated the victims’ bodies and concealed them in a dusty, cement-filled plastic drum in Indiranagar, Uttar Pradesh. Their arrest followed Muskan’s revelation of the crime to her stepmother, detailing the involvement of Sahil Shukla.

Jail authorities indicate that both suspects have exhibited signs of drug addiction while detained in separate barracks at Chaudhary Charan Singh district jail in Meerut. Senior Jail Superintendent Viresh Raj Sharma stated, “It was discovered that they are drug addicts and were experiencing withdrawal symptoms. They are receiving medication for these symptoms and are undergoing therapy at de-addiction centers, along with yoga and meditation sessions.”

Sharma also mentioned that Muskan has been assigned a government defense attorney due to her family’s refusal to represent her. He explained, “Yesterday, Muskan requested a government defense counsel because her family is so distressed with her that they will not fight for her. We are proceeding to court to fulfill her request, as it is her right as an accused.”

What adds to the tragedy of this case is that Muskan’s parents have called for the death penalty, declaring that she has forfeited her right to live due to her actions. “My daughter (Muskan) murdered her husband (Saurabh)… She is unfit for society and poses a threat to everyone. I would caution others against her actions… She should be hanged,” her father asserted.

Reports suggest that Muskan wished to be incarcerated in the same barrack as Sahil; however, jail regulations mandated their separation. Consequently, there is no contact between the two suspects. Sharma confirmed, “They were informed that regulations prohibit contact between male and female barracks, and as such, they are housed separately.”

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
