Muskan, accused of murdering her husband Saurabh, gave birth to a daughter named Radha, coinciding with Saurabh’s birthday. Her in-laws have requested a DNA test to confirm the child’s parentage.
Muskan, accused of killing her husband and hiding his body in a blue drum, has named her newborn daughter Radha, even as her in-laws have demanded a DNA test to confirm the child’s parentage. The baby was born on November 24 at Lala Lajpat Rai Memorial Medical College in Meerut, the same day as her slain husband Saurabh Rajput’s birthday.
Dr. Shagun, head of the hospital’s gynecology department, said Muskan would be sent back to Meerut district jail on Wednesday. Jail Superintendent Viresh Raj Sharma said the infant could stay with her mother in the women’s barrack until she turns six. The jail will provide clothes, nutrition, and medical care for the baby, he added.
Saurabh’s brother, Rahul, said he had already sought a DNA test and would move a fresh plea in court. He alleged that Muskan and her lover, Sahil Shukla, killed Saurabh, stuffed his body in a cement-filled blue drum, and fled to Himachal Pradesh.
Rahul also demanded a DNA test on Muskan’s elder daughter, saying the Rajput family would take responsibility for both children only if proven to be Saurabh’s biological offspring. Otherwise, he said, the family would “have no relation” with Muskan or the newborn.
Saurabh’s mother, Renu Rajput, supported the demand, saying the family would accept the baby only after the DNA results.
