A court has awarded the death sentence to Muskaan Rastogi and Sahil for the murder of former merchant navy professional Saurabh in the Blue Drum murder case. Following the pronouncement delivered via video conferencing, both convicts broke down and were placed under tightened security in separate barracks. Assigned prisoner numbers 395 and 396, Muskaan and Sahil have been issued prison uniforms and allocated routine daily work assignments. The victim was drugged, stabbed, and dismembered before his body was sealed in a cement-filled drum. The court noted the extensive planning behind the crime, rejecting defence pleas regarding the lack of eyewitnesses. Muskaan, who gave birth to a child while in custody, remains concerned about the future of her daughters, as prison regulations allow a minor child to reside with an incarcerated mother only until the age of six.

00:00The Blue Drum murder case and the verdict update.
00:03Death sentence announced by the court for Muskaan, Rastogi and Sahil.
00:07What is the day looking like for them in jail?
00:10Remember while there are a lot of legal appeals that they may have as an option,
00:14but what we know is, realizing the consequences of their action,
00:18Muskaan and Sahil will now be known with their prisoner number, 395-396.
00:24But importantly, it appears now they're realizing what they've done.
00:28Convicted by the court, death sentence, looking at the gravity of the crime.
00:33It appears that Muskaan and Sahil, kept in different and separate jails, are in deep distress.
00:38They have not been able to eat their food and primarily now Muskaan, Rastogi,
00:43is thinking of the upbringing of the daughter, or should I say daughters?
00:48Remember there was a child born to Muskaan in custody and that is where the issue takes a different turn.
00:54There was already a daughter born from the husband and now a daughter in custody.
00:59A little child unaware about the kind of life she's going to live,
01:04knowing that her mother at least will be known as the murderer.
01:09Both have been issued prison uniforms.
01:12Muskaan is in barrack number 12B, Sahil in barrack number 15.
01:15They're now required to wear those specific uniforms.
01:19Basically, for Sahil, it will be like a kurta pajama.
01:22Muskaan would be given a saree or a suit.
01:24These are also part of the uniforms.
01:26Work assignments have been allocated.
01:28There will be different kind of activities that they'll have to be a part of.
01:33Following the sentencing, Muskaan and Sahil will be identified as prisoners with their prisoner numbers.
01:38Because all prison records and procedures will now identify based on these numbers.
01:45Muskaan and Sahil had committed a grave crime.
01:48No sympathy can come for them.
01:50Remember they had killed Saurabh, who was earlier a merchant navy professional,
01:55returned from London to live with Muskaan and the child, a girl child in Meret.
02:00And for some reason, Muskaan, in a relationship with Sahil, killed Saurabh, but that was not it.
02:09Dismembered the body, put it in a blue drum, and only accidentally,
02:12the mortal remains were discovered and sent shockwaves across the country.
02:17Himanshu Mishra is joining me for the latest on that.
02:20Himanshu, I remember that the biggest shock was that the body was cut off the blue drum,
02:25and it was hidden in the cement with Himanshal Pradesh to party.
02:28They showed videos on there.
02:29And the child, who was born in custody, how much of his life is going to be difficult now?
02:35These are the consequences of his actions.
02:37Tell us, what kind of life is left when a death sentence is announced, and now the two of them
02:43are in prison?
02:44Look, as the death sentence was announced, Pooja,
02:47after that, first of all, the security was increased.
02:51The police, who is in the jail staff, are alerted around the clock,
02:56came down by the death sentence, and many of them are concerned about that.
03:07That's where we are concerned about it.
03:09Because we have been concerned about it,
03:10as we have been dealing with it.
03:10Both of them, they have been dealing with it.
03:12The police and the police of the attack are still rapport,
03:13and when you have announced it,
03:15they did clear that the police and the police of the attack are still alive,
03:22So, we got the knowledge from the jail sources that we heard from them that both of them were crying.
03:30Maybe they didn't believe that they were thinking about life imprisonment.
03:36They were crying and they were crying.
03:41Then the jail staff got hurt.
03:54Yes.
03:55Yes.
03:56Yes.
03:56But when she'll be full of 6 years after that, the NGOs and Nari Niketan are not prepared to be
04:04prepared for any family member,
04:07then the NGOs and Nari Niketan are in the future.
04:12for the people who were there.
04:14Ibanashu, is this something that the Sahil and Muskan are realizing?
04:18What have they done?
04:19What kind of reaction is that the people who have had the same behavior?
04:24What kind of behavior was it?
04:26After a party, after a murder,
04:27is this what they were realizing?
04:29What kind of consequences were they?
04:32The truth of them is that they don't know.
04:36Because it was clear that the murder is not just a crime.
04:40You have no crime before.
04:43You have no criminal history before.
04:46But what you have done,
04:49you have to break all the facts.
04:52You have to break all the facts.
04:52You can see, there was two levels of conspiracy.
04:55One level of conspiracy is that the first one was murder.
04:59That is why murdering them.
05:01To get the money,
05:03get the money, get the vegetables,
05:05get the money,
05:05and murdering them.
05:08After murdering them,
05:09what do you plan for?
05:11First, they take the suitcase.
05:14We will dump the body in this suitcase.
05:16But then they thought that this is such a big suitcase.
05:18And if we take it,
05:20it can be a shame.
05:21So, they had to dump the body inside the house.
05:25And they have to dump the money.
05:27And they have to dump the money.
05:30And they have to dump the money.
05:54And they have to dump the money in the sense of that.
05:55But my heart goes out for the two little girl daughters.
05:59The girl children of Muskaan.
06:01And the kind of hardship they'll have to live with
06:03because of the actions of this woman and man.
06:06And I'm sure they have to grab the back house
06:06so she has to put them together in a way.
