MEERUT, Nov. 25 -- Lodged in Meerut jail for allegedly killing her husband and former merchant navy officer Saurabh Rajput, 30, and concealing the body in a blue drum, Muskan Rastogi gave birth to a baby girl on Monday (November 24). However, Saurabh's family on Tuesday demanded a DNA paternity test.

Muskan, 27, delivered the child at Meerut's Lala Lajpat Rai Medical College on Monday evening after she went into labour inside the jail barrack. Coincidentally, the child was born on Saurabh's birthday.

Reacting to the birth, Saurabh's elder brother, Rahul, said the family would ensure a DNA test was conducted to establish the baby's paternity. "If the child is indeed Saurabh's daughter, we will willingly accept her," he added.
