A panel of doctors that conducted the post-mortem on Wednesday observed that Rajput’s murder was particularly disturbing, adding that the cement damaged the body severely.

The killers stabbed him with a knife with brute force, found the autopsy.

“The heart was struck with such force that the knife penetrated deep inside, leaving it severely damaged. The legs were bent backwards, stiffened to the point they couldn’t be straightened, and the body was fragmented — the neck detached, hands cut off at the wrists, and the torso separated,” said one of the doctors on the panel.

At the mortuary, doctors had to break the drum cut open and smash the cement to extract the body, a process that officials said took about an hour.

According to Meerut’s chief medical officer, Dr Ashok Kataria, the autopsy revealed that the body’s teeth were shaky and skin loose due to prolonged exposure to the cement.

He also that there were signs of an attempt to destroy the body by pouring wet cement over it, likely intended to damage the skin and hasten decomposition.

“The remains were not enough for a thorough examination and we could not ascertain the actual cause of death.”

The autopsy took about an hour-and-a-half, said doctors.

“We’ve been doing postmortems for years. Normally, an autopsy doesn’t stir up much emotion, but the way Saurabh was killed—it stayed with me even after I went home,” said a doctor.

Meerut superintendent of police (city) Ayush Vikram Singh said, “Police received a tip-off about a foul smell emanating from the victim’s house. Upon investigation, we found his body chopped into multiple pieces and sealed inside a water drum filled with cement.”

As per the post-mortem report, Saurabh's head was also chopped off, and his body was cut into small pieces to fit into the drum. Even the doctors who conducted the post-mortem were shaken. Police said it sent a team to Himachal Pradesh for investigation of the matter.

In a bone-chilling turn of events, the woman and her partner allegedly killed her husband Sourabh, dismembered his body, and sealed his body parts in a drum filled with cement in Uttar Pradesh's Indiranagar, police said on Tuesday.
