A video showing a girl in a short outfit dancing in a room is being shared with the claim that she is Muskan Rastogi, the accused in the murder of her husband, Saurabh Rajput, in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. However, this claim is false. The woman in the video is not Muskan Rastogi but someone else (Palak Saini).
Sharing the video on X (Formerly Twitter), @singh_kikki wrote, “Look carefully, this is the same Muskaan Rastogi who has cut her husband into 15 pieces. She was already roaming around naked, but was not getting any customers”.
गौर से देखिए यह वही मुस्कान रस्तोगी है जिसने अपने पति को 15 टुकड़ों में काट दिया है

Another account @Suman__godara shared the video and wrote, “Look carefully, this is the same Muskaan Rastogi who has cut her husband into 15 pieces. She was already roaming around naked but was not getting any customers”.

The truth about the video, Fact Check
As soon as the posts containing the video and claims came to our notice. Subsequently, we conducted research and analysis of the video. We found that the woman was not Muskan Rastogi but a different woman.
To verify the users’ claims, we conducted a reverse image search on key frames from the viral video using Google Lens. This search directed us to an Instagram post featuring the same video, which was uploaded by the account (@Palaksaini143). Upon reviewing her timeline, we discovered several dance videos (1, 2, 3) posted by her. The girl in the video is a model, influencer, and content creator. The video has no connection to Muskan Rastogi.
Therefore, it is evident from D-Intent Data’s Fact Check that the video was not related to Muskan Rastogi.
