In Uttar Pradesh's Meerut, the police took Muskan Rastogi, the prime accused in Saurabh's murder, to the crime scene on March 19. The CCTV footage revealed her entering her house with three police officers. Another clip shows officers handling a heavy blue drum, which contained Saurabh's dismembered body parts, sealed with cement to evade detection.

The terrifying details of this case continue to unfold, with Muskan and Sahil now in custody. Their actions have left everyone stunned, as the couple's sinister reality is revealed by a post-mortem report, which indicates Saurabh's brutal knife attack, followed by dismemberment for containment.
The autopsy disclosed the disfigured state of Saurabh's body, indicating a failed attempt to fit it into a drum. Cause of death was attributed to extreme bleeding and shock. Medical examiners reported forceful strikes to Saurabh's heart with a sharp object, marking a violent, continuous assault.
One doctor stated, "The powerful knife thrusts pierced the heart." Superintendent Ayush Vikram Singh confirmed the brutality of Muskan's attacks. Muskan and Sahil drugged Saurabh on March 3, rendering him unconscious before killing and dismembering him. They then encased the body parts in cement and left for Himachal Pradesh, enjoying a leisure trip.
