Marriage on 11 May, honeymoon from 20th and murder on 23rd
Raja Raghuvanshi and Sonam got married on 11 May in Indore as per Hindu rituals. The family was happy, relatives blessed the newlyweds and on 20 May, both left for honeymoon in Shillong. On 22 May, the couple stayed at Shipra Homestay in Nongriat village. They checked out at 6 am the next day and since then both their mobiles were switched off. On 24 May, the scooty was found abandoned in the parking lot of Osara Hills, about 25 km from Mawlakhiyat. After this, Raja and Sonam’s belongings were found in the forest and on 2 June Raja’s body was found in a deep ditch near the Veisawdong waterfall. He was identified by the tattoo on his hand.
Sonam called herself after 17 days
Sonam reached a dhaba in Nandganj area of Ghazipur between 3 and 4 am on 9 June. From there, she took the phone of the Dhaba operator and made a video call to her brother and told him that she was in Ghazipur. The brother immediately informed the Indore police, who contacted the Ghazipur police. The police reached the spot and Sonam was kept for medical examination at the One Stop Center. No injury or mark of assault was found in the investigation.
According to police sources, Sonam was having an affair with a young man, which was active even before marriage. Both remained in touch even after marriage. Sonam hatched a conspiracy to eliminate Raja and along with her lover carried out the murder in Shillong. A total of four people were involved in Raja’s murder. Of which three have been arrested from Indore, while one accused is from Uttar Pradesh who is currently absconding. Meghalaya DGP L. Nongrang has confirmed that four people, including his wife Sonam, have been arrested in the murder of Indore resident Raja Raghuvanshi. Interrogation of Sonam, who was taken into custody from Ghazipur, is going on.
CCTV footage and audio call revealed many secrets
CCTV footage outside a hotel in Shillong on May 22 has surfaced, in which Sonam and Raja are seen coming on a scooty and keeping the bag. This is the same scooty which was later found abandoned. Apart from this, Sonam spoke to Raja’s mother Uma Devi for the last time on May 23 at 1.30 pm. In the call, Sonam had said, “Mom, he is taking me around the jungles, has come to see the waterfall…” Half an hour later the phone got disconnected. In the audio call, Sonam innocently talks about fasting, complaining about food and shortness of breath. But now the same Sonam is accused of murder.
