Saurabh used to give Muskaan ₹50,000 or ₹25,000 every month for expenses. Whenever money was transferred to Muskaan's account, she would inform Sahil. Sahil would then use this money to bet on cricket matches.
Last year, he bet on the T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy. He has also been betting on IPL matches for several years. He was preparing to place bets on the IPL this year, but was arrested beforehand.
Sahil’s neighbours claim he was involved in gambling, and the police are investigating this angle as well. He reportedly used his gambling winnings to fund an extravagant lifestyle for himself and Muskaan, taking her on multiple leisure trips to Rishikesh, Dehradun, and other hill stations.
Meanwhile, the police revealed that while Saurabh was working in London, he regularly sent Muskaan money for her expenses. He had also given her ₹100,000 shortly before the murder. Sahil’s gambling activities have now surfaced as a key detail in the case and will be examined further during his remand.
