00:00This is them dancing in a pub in Himachal Pradesh, just days after stuffing a body into
00:11a cement drum.
00:12A video from their trip even shows Muskaan feeding Sahil cake, saying happy birthday
00:16before kissing him.
00:18Muskaan and Sahil sealed Saurabh's body in cement before fleeing to Himachal.
00:23They returned two days later and were arrested.
00:27It was her mother who turned her in.
00:43Sahil and Muskaan first met in school but reconnected at a reunion, police said.
00:48Muskaan's family said that Sahil was a drug addict and dragged her into substance abuse.
00:57Sahil and Muskaan had history, they were classmates in class 8, police said.
01:07When they met again years later, their old bond reignited into something toxic.
01:13By 2021, Saurabh had discovered the affair.
01:15The landlord even caught Muskaan and Sahil in a compromising position.
01:19Saurabh filed for divorce but his family convinced him not to go ahead with it.
01:25There were whispers of black magic.
01:27Some believe Muskaan and Sahil were influenced by occult practices.
01:31But police say it was most likely a well-planned murder.
01:40Sahil, deeply superstitious and addicted to drugs, was a recluse, living with his grandmother.
01:46His mother had passed away and his father lived in Noida.
01:49Police say Muskaan exploited his beliefs, creating fake Snapchat accounts to pose as
01:53his deceased mother, manipulating him into killing Saurabh.
01:57The murder was uncovered when their landlord's labourers found a foul-smelling drum Muskaan
02:01had dismissed as junk.
02:03Saurabh's mother claimed that her 5-year-old granddaughter knew something was wrong.
