NEW DELHI: The mother of Meerut man Saurabh Rajput, who was allegedly murdered by his wife Muskan Rustogi and her lover Sahil Shukla, has made an emotional appeal for justice, demanding the strictest punishment for those responsible. She has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath to intervene and ensure a thorough investigation into the case.
Speaking to ANI, Saurabh’s mother expressed her deep anguish and also called for her granddaughter to be brought to them. “She is our granddaughter; we have the right to see her. If the mother could harm her own husband, what if she did something to the child too? We haven’t seen her since the incident, and we want to keep her with us,” she said.
She also questioned how her son’s wife managed to escape after committing such a crime. “Where did she find the courage to kill her husband and leave so easily? She is roaming freely with her lover. Who is he? Where did she go with him? There must have been some planning behind this. She did not act alone,” she added.
Demanding the death penalty for those involved, she said, “Those responsible for my son’s murder should be hanged. I appeal to Modi ji and Yogi ji for justice. The investigation should be conducted by any agency — crime branch, CBI, or anyone — but I need to know every detail. What happened? What was the reason? Was there a fight between them? I need all the answers.”
Saurabh’s mother also questioned the events leading up to the murder. “If my son had been facing such serious problems, he would have told me something. He came home on the night of March 3 but never mentioned anything. If he had been troubled, he would have said something. That girl never used to do any household work, and the neighbors also knew about their issues.”
Meanwhile, Saurabh’s post-mortem report mentioned that his heart was punctured by deep stab wounds, head was severed from the body, both hands were cut off from the wrist and his legs were bent backwards, suggesting an attempt to fit the body in a drum.
Medical experts concluded that Saurabh’s death was caused by severe shock and massive blood loss. The post-mortem examination revealed three deep, forceful stab wounds to the heart, suggesting a sustained and brutal attack.
