Viral Video Of Blue Drum Gift To Newlyweds Triggers Memories Of Meerut Horror- Watch!

A wedding in Hamirpur, Uttar Pradesh, has stirred a wave of online outrage after a bizarre and deeply insensitive gift turned a celebration into a controversy.

Right after the jaimala ceremony, while the newlyweds were greeting guests, the groom’s friends walked in with an unusual present — a giant blue plastic drum. The bride burst into laughter at the sight, but the groom looked visibly confused. What might’ve been intended as a prank quickly took a dark turn online.

The drum instantly reminded many of the horrifying Meerut murder case , where a woman and her lover brutally killed her husband, chopped his body into 15 parts, and stuffed it into a similar blue drum filled with cement.

The video of the incident surfaced on X, captioned, “What could be a worse joke than this! It is absolutely not appropriate to remember a heinous murder as a joke on a happy occasion like a wedding.”

Another user lashed out, “The world has become mentally ill, people have made fun of this massacre in every street, when it happens to oneself, then one realises that it is one's own.”

The reference was to the chilling murder of Saurabh Rajput, a 32-year-old ex-Merchant Navy officer, who was killed on March 4. His wife Muskaan, with the help of her lover Sahil Shukla, allegedly drugged him, stabbed him in the heart, and slit his throat. They then dismembered the body and stuffed it into a blue drum, sealed with cement to hide the stench.

The crime came to light only two weeks later when Saurabh’s six-year-old daughter told her grandmother, “Papa is in the drum.”

Doctors said the body was preserved inside the cement and didn’t decompose, which delayed suspicion.

Chillingly, after the murder, Muskaan and Sahil went on a Holi trip to Manali and even kept texting Saurabh’s family using his phone to maintain the illusion that he was alive.

Both are now in judicial custody at Meerut’s Chaudhary Charan Singh District Jail.

What was meant as a prank at the wedding has backfired, drawing sharp criticism for making light of a tragedy. The internet has spoken — some jokes just cross a line.
