On march 4, Rastogi and her partner Sahil Shukla are accused of stabbing Rajput to death, then slicing his body into several pieces and concealing it inside a drum filled with cement.
At the meerut district jail, the two defendants are housed in different barracks. A local court prolonged their judicial custody for an additional 14 days last week.
Rastogi and Shukla met in person for the first time since their arrest last week. Any communication between the two accused has been rigorously forbidden by the jail administration.
According to sources cited by PTI, Rastogi broke down when she met her partner during her video conference court appearance.
Following the purported murder, the two had also traveled to Himachal Pradesh.
According to the investigation, Rastogi had been plotting her husband's murder since november 2023 and allegedly tricked Sahil Shukla into committing the crime by using a phony Snapchat account to pose as his mother, who had passed away.
