Meerut Couple Faces Drug Withdrawal in Jail After Brutal Murder

Muskan Rastogi and Sahil Shukla, accused of killing Saurabh Rajput, are undergoing treatment for severe drug addiction while awaiting trial in a fast-track court.

Muskan Rastogi and Sahil Shukla murdered Saurabh Rajput on March 4, 2025, drugging and stabbing him before dismembering his body and sealing it in a cement-filled drum.
The accused went on a 15-day trip to Himachal Pradesh after the murder, using the victim's phone to mislead his family and friends.
Both are experiencing severe drug withdrawal symptoms in jail, including restlessness, refusal to eat, and demands for narcotics like morphine and marijuana.
Muskan Rastogi confessed to the crime after being confronted by her parents, who have since disowned her and demanded capital punishment.
The Uttar Pradesh Police are expediting the case to a fast-track court, with ongoing investigations into the crime and related actions, including the tampering of a prescription to acquire sleeping pills.
