The Meerut murder case has taken a chilling turn with the emergence of detailed accounts from the cab driver who transported the accused, Muskaan Rastogi and Sahil Shukla, on their post-murder trip to Shimla and Manali. These revelations paint a disturbing picture of their behavior in the aftermath of the gruesome crime.
Here’s a breakdown of the key details:
The Trip’s Disturbing Details:
- Behavioral Observations:
- According to reports, the cab driver, Ajab Singh, stated that Muskaan and Sahil’s demeanor did not reflect that of individuals who had just committed a brutal murder.
- Reports indicate that the couple maintained a relatively subdued presence throughout the 15-day journey.
- Alcohol Consumption:
- The cab driver revealed that Sahil regularly consumed alcohol during the trip.
- It was also reported that Muskaan consumed alcohol on the return journey.
- Specific Requests:
- One particularly unsettling detail involves Muskaan’s request for the cab driver to purchase a cake and deliver it to their hotel room, with specific instructions to avoid calling and to deliver it in a way that appeared casual.
- Celebrations:
- Reports indicate that the couple participated in Holi celebrations and also celebrated Sahil’s birthday during the trip.
- Hotel behaviour:
- It has also been reported that while staying at a hotel in Kasol, Muskaan and Sahil remained in their room for the majority of the time, minimising contact with hotel staff, and even not allowing the room to be cleaned.
