Meerut Murder Case Resonates Nationally as Police Await New Evidence

The gruesome murder of Saurabh Rajput by his wife and her lover continues to spark societal debates, with investigations now focused on evidence from Himachal Pradesh.

Muskan Rastogi and Sahil Shukla remain in judicial custody as police await evidence from Himachal Pradesh to reconstruct the crime scene.
The murder involved drugging, stabbing, and dismembering Saurabh Rajput, whose body was sealed in a cement-filled blue drum, a detail widely referenced on social media.
Religious leader Dhirendra Shastri condemned the crime, linking it to declining family values and cultural shifts, and called for a return to traditional principles.
A separate incident in Meerut, where a woman threatened her husband with a similar fate, has drawn parallels to the Rajput case, underscoring its societal impact.
Public discourse around the case remains intense, with social media flooded with references to the blue drum and debates about morality and cultural influences.
