Meerut Murder Case: Uttar Pradesh's Meerut once again witnessed a case like the Saurabh Rajput murder case (The blue drum murder case). In the recent case, a woman had her husband killed by her lover. She conspired to kill him after he found out about her affair.
She staged his murder as a part of a robbery. Rahul, the husband's body was found with three bullet marks in a field outside his village, NDTV reported.
Rahul's wife, Anjali, a mother of three, mourned his death before eloping with her lover, Ajay. Earlier, the Meerut Police did not smell any foul play, but as the probe progressed, another angle of the murder was discovered.
When police suspected her involvement in the murder, she went missing from her home in Agwanpur village. Later, police found that she was in a relationship with someone named Ajay. The lover was a resident of the same village. He also went missing from the village.
However, police managed to trace them, and during the questioning, Ajay confessed to the crime. The accused killed him because he got to know about his relationship with his wife. Ajay said he asked Rahul to meet him near the fields. When Rahul came there, Ajay shot him three times and ran away from there.

Now, eight months after the killing of Saurabh in the infamous 'blue drum murder' case, a shadow of the incident still looms large over Meerut's Indiranagar, where the family of the accused, Muskan Rastogi, resides and now prepares to leave the city.
On Wednesday, a 'House for sale' sign was seen outside their residence. Muskan's father, Pramod Rastogi, said the family no longer wishes to live in Meerut. "There are only painful memories left here. We want to move out and start afresh," he said.
Pramod's wife Kavita and son Rahul, also supported the decision. The family said their social and financial situation had deteriorated since the incident on March 3. Pramod's jewellery business is on the verge of shutting down, with customers staying away and creditors halting transactions, he said. Muskan's younger sister, who used to offer tuition at home, also lost her income after people stopped sending their children.
