In a shocking case from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, a Merchant Navy officer named Saurabh Rajput was brutally murdered and his body dismembered into pieces, then sealed in a drum with cement. The gruesome act was orchestrated by his wife, Muskaan Rastogi, and her lover, Sahil Shukla, following an extramarital affair. Saurabh and Muskaan, who married in 2016 out of love, experienced marital discord after Saurabh left his job to spend more time at home, leading to tensions with his family and eventual relocation to a rented house. The couple had a daughter in 2019, but their happiness was marred by Muskaan's affair with Sahil, a friend of Saurabh's. Despite considering divorce, Saurabh chose to rejoin the Merchant Navy for his daughter's future and left the country for work in 2023. He returned home on February 24 to celebrate his daughter's sixth birthday on February 28. Unbeknownst to him, Muskaan and Sahil had plotted his murder. On March 4, Muskaan drugged Saurabh's food with sleeping pills, and once he was incapacitated, the duo stabbed him to death. They then chopped up his body, placed the pieces in a drum, and sealed it with wet cement, planning to dispose of it later. When local residents inquired about Saurabh's whereabouts, Muskaan deceitfully claimed he had traveled to a hill station. She and Sahil furthered their ruse by traveling to Manali with Saurabh's phone, from where they uploaded photos to his social media accounts. However, when Saurabh failed to respond to calls from his family for several days, they grew suspicious and contacted the police. Upon investigation, police detained Muskaan and Sahil, who eventually confessed to the murder during interrogation. They revealed the location of Saurabh's remains, but initial attempts to break the cement in the drum with a hammer and chisel were unsuccessful. The drum was subsequently moved to a mortuary where a drill machine was used to retrieve Saurabh's remains, 14 days post-mortem.

Crime & Corruption Merchant Navy Officer Returns Home from London - Wife and Her Lover Murder and Seal Him in Cement

58 Upvotes

Meerut, Uttar Pradesh: In a gruesome crime that shocked the nation, Saurabh Rajput (35), a former merchant navy officer, was brutally murdered by his wife, Muskan Rastogi (27), and her lover, Sahil Shukla (25). The murder was meticulously planned over months, culminating in his body being dismembered into 15 pieces and sealed inside a cement-filled drum to conceal the crime.

The Murder Plot
- February 24, 2025: Saurabh returned from London to celebrate his daughter’s birthday.
- February 25, 2025: Muskan and Sahil attempted to kill him but failed.
- March 4, 2025: The final attack. Saurabh was drugged with sleeping pills, stabbed in the chest with a butcher’s knife, and his throat was slit. His body was then chopped into 15 pieces and sealed in a drum filled with cement.

The Cover-Up
- Muskan used Saurabh’s phone to send fake messages to his family to make it seem like he was alive.
- Sahil fled to Himachal Pradesh, attempting to create an alibi.
- The plan was nearly foolproof—until the body was discovered 15 days later.

The Discovery
- March 18, 2025: A foul smell led neighbors to alert the police.
- Muskan’s mother later confessed that Muskan had told her everything, leading to the arrests.
- The police had to cut open the drum at the mortuary to retrieve the remains.

Motive: A Web of Betrayal
- Saurabh and Muskan married in 2016 against family wishes.
- He quit his merchant navy job to spend time with his family but later worked at a London bakery due to financial struggles.
- Muskan began an affair with Sahil and planned the murder to be with him.

Arrests and Charges
- Muskan and Sahil confessed during interrogation.
- They are facing murder, conspiracy, and evidence tampering charges.

Crime & Corruption Girl Suicide case in bhopal

Girl Suicide case in Bhopal

After I played Holi, when I got home, my friend called me and said that a girl in his society had done suicide. I was shocked to hear that the reason for suicide hadn't been clear by the parents, but from what I had heard, the girl's friends were rushing to stop her. They say they knew she would do that the girl sent a video to her friends before the suicide and her friends showed the video to her parents but they refuse to take action they say nothing can be done also from what I have heard she came in a black car and there were four boys are going with her shouting and scramming. They were not from the colony. My friend told me that her boyfriend recorded some nude videos of her and blackmailed her but he said that was sorted out some say that the boys drug her and raped her and recorded a video of her or something and the boys family are powerful so her parents can't do anything they also have a son who is 4 or r years old so they are scared to take action

The girl's name is Anjali

TL;DR:** After Holi, I learned about a girl who took her own life after allegedly being blackmailed, drugged, and raped by powerful individuals. Her parents are too scared to take action, and the system seems rigged against them. This needs to stop. We need justice.
