New Delhi: A routine medical examination at a jail in Meerut has revealed that Muskan Rastogi, held for allegedly murdering her husband with her lover, is pregnant. The discovery was made on Monday during standard health screenings for female inmates.
Senior Jail Superintendent Viresh Raj Sharma confirmed receiving verbal confirmation of her pregnancy, though he is awaiting the official report. “Health check-ups and pregnancy tests are standard for all incoming female inmates, and Muskan’s test was part of this routine,” Sharma said.
Chief Medical Officer Dr Ashok Kataria stated that the initial test returned a positive result, and an ultrasound will be conducted to confirm the pregnancy’s status and duration.
Muskan and her partner Sahil are accused of killing Saurabh Rajput, a former Merchant Navy officer, on March 4 at his Indiranagar home in Meerut. Investigators allege the pair drugged him before fatally stabbing him.
The case took a gruesome turn as police uncovered that the victim’s body was mutilated—his head and hands severed—and hidden in a blue drum filled with cement. Evidence indicates Muskan had been plotting the murder since November 2023.
Both suspects are in judicial custody. Muskan has been assigned sewing duties in jail, while Sahil is working in agriculture. Both are also undergoing treatment at a drug de-addiction facility.
