MEERUT, Oct. 1 -- A district court in Meerut on Wednesday convicted Muskan Rastogi and her lover Sahil Shukla for the murder of her husband and merchant navy officer Saurabh Rajput, whose body was found hidden inside a blue drum in March last year. District and sessions judge Arvind Kumar Mishra reserved the order on the quantum of sentence after concluding the trial and hearing final arguments from both sides. The two were found guilty of murder, destruction of evidence and criminal conspiracy. The murder drew widespread attention after the prosecution alleged that Rajput's body was cut into pieces and placed inside a large blue plastic drum before being sealed with cement. The prosecution case rested primarily on circumstantial, medical, forensic and scientific evidence. According to district government counsel Krishna Kumar Chaubey, the two accused, who are lodged in Meerut district jail, were produced before the court through video conferencing amid tight security arrangements. Several lawyers were present on the court premises during the proceedings. Around 4.30pm, when judge Arvind Mishra reached the courtroom, the video-conferencing proceedings for Muskan and Sahil were initiated from the district jail. The judge asked Muskan to raise her hand and asked what she felt on the day of the verdict. Muskan replied: "We have done what we had to do." When questioned further, she said: "I have nothing to say." While pronouncing the verdict, the judge observed that such a crime creates an atmosphere of fear in society....
