Muskan Rastogi of Meerut along with her boyfriend killed her husband Saurabh Kumar with meat cutting knives. After the murder, to dispose of the body, they separated the head from the torso and chopped off both the hands.
The torso was kept separate from the rest of the pieces for one night. The next morning, all the pieces of the corpse were put in a drum after buying materials from the market. Cement solution was filled over the pieces of the corpse.
After committing the crime, Muskan and Sahil reached Shimla in Himachal Pradesh and got married in a temple there. Both the murderers spent 12 days on their honeymoon in the cities of Himachal and Uttarakhand.
Muskan’s mother Kavita Rastogi told NDTV that her daughter came to meet her parents after returning from Shimla. According to her mother, Muskan confessed that she had killed Saurabh. “Saurabh was “blindly in love” with Muskaan. Our daughter was the problem. She got him separated from his family. And she has now done this,” the mother told NDTV.
The Rastogis extended support to their son-in-law’s family, saying they got Muskan arrested. “They should get justice. He (Saurabh) put everything at stake, and left his parents, their property worth crores. And she got him (killed). He was our son too,” Kavita Rastogi told NDTV. When asked about the punishment they want for their daughter, Muskan’s parents with teary eyes demanded capital punishment, adding that she “lost the right to live”.
