Murder


The crime was unearthed in Indira Nagar due to a foul smell and information about Saurabh Rajput (29), a merchant navy, going missing on March 4 was received. An investigation was launched upon receiving information about the matter, Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Ayush Vikram Singh said.



On the basis of suspicion, police detained his wife Muskan (27), and her lover, Sahil (25), he said.

During interrogation, the two confessed to stabbing Saurabh to death on March 4. The two then chopped up his body, placed the remains in a drum, and sealed it with cement, he added.

The body has been sent for post-mortem, and a case has been registered based on a complaint from Saurabh’s family.

The accused have been arrested, the officer said.

According to the victim’s family, Muskan attempted to mislead them by sending messages from Saurabh’s phone.

Police said Saurabh, from Brahmpuri’s Indranagar Phase 2, had a love marriage Muskan Rastogi from Gauripura in 2016.
