The accused in the merchant navy officer Saurabh Rajput case, Muskan Rastogi and Sahil Shukla, were thrashed by an angry group of lawyers outside a court in Meerut.

The police managed to rescue both accused from the lawyers' siege with great difficulty. In their anger, the lawyers beat Sahil so severely that his clothes were torn apart during the scuffle. The police took Sahil to jail in a semi-naked state.
