In another shocking revelation, the police probing the Meerut murder case have found that the accused, Muskan Rastogi, bought two knives for ₹800 and rehearsed how to stab multiple times before allegedly killing her husband, Saurabh Rajput.

The police said that Muskan was unsure of her skills with knives and hence bought a razor, which was later allegedly used to sever Saurabh's head from his body, NDTV reported.

Details about the violent nature of the crime emerged and became national headlines after merchant Navy officer Saurabh Rajput's mangled body was recovered from a cement-filled drum.

During interrogation, Muskan and Sahil confessed to having stabbed Saurabh Rajput to death on March 4. The two then chopped up his body, put the remains inside a drum and sealed it with cement. The two were arrested and are currently in judicial custody.
