Meerut murder accused Muskan Rastogi's mother makes emotive appeal to children: ‘Never hide…'

Kavita, the mother of Meerut murder suspect Muskan Rastogi, stated on Friday that if her daughter had not "hid a lot of things" from her parents, she would not be behind bars. Today, Saurabh Rajput's mother urged other youngsters to "never hide anything" from their parents, following the discovery of her body in a drum a few days ago.

Muskan Rastogi and her alleged lover, Sahil Shukla, allegedly murdered Rajput, a merchant navy officer, as they thought he could prove to be a hindrance in their relationship and drug abuse. They chopped his body, put it in the drum and poured cement over it to hide their alleged crime.

Muskan last week confessed the murder of her husband to her parents, who made her surrender to the police. Her mother today claimed Muskan lost 10 kilograms of body weight in two years.
