The police have arrested five people including Sonam in the murder case of raja Raghuvanshi. Raja was murdered during his honeymoon in Sohra in east Khasi Hills district. raja Raghuvanshi and his wife went missing on 23 May. On June 2, during the search for his wife, Raja's body was found in a ditch.


Sonam, the main conspirator of the raja Raghuvanshi murder case, has reached Meghalaya. Meghalaya police reached Shillong Sadar police station with Sonam Raghuvanshi at around 1.30 am. Where his medical examination was also done. meghalaya police has his three-day transit remand. Now Meghalaya police will present Sonam and raj Kushwaha along with other accused Vishal Chauhan, akash Rajput, and anand Kurmi in the Shillong court on Wednesday. It is being said that now the police will also take him to the crime scene where the scene will be recreated.


Sonam was arrested in Ghazipur. From there she was taken to Phulwari Sharif police station in Patna. After this, the police took Sonam to Kolkatathen Guwahati. Then at around 10.45 pm, Sonam reached guwahati airport. From here, meghalaya police took her to Shillong amid heavy security. A large number of security forces were also deployed at the airport. As soon as she left the airport, the police put Sonam in a gypsy and left for Shillong. The distance of Shillong from the airport is about 100 kilometers.

The police have arrested five people including Sonam in the murder case of raja Raghuvanshi. Raja was murdered during his honeymoon in Sohra in east Khasi Hills district. raja Raghuvanshi and his wife went missing on May 23. On June 2, while searching for his wife, Raja's body was found in a ditch.


Meanwhile, on June 9, Sonam appeared in Ghazipur, UP early in the morning and surrendered before the police. Earlier, the police and SI also caught other people involved in the crime that shook the country. So far, five people including Sonam have been arrested in the case.


This is how the crime was executed.


Sonam and raj chose Shillong as the hideout to execute the conspiracy. Under this, Sonam convinced raja to go to Shillong for a honeymoon. Both of them hired three killers to kill Raja. Without going to Shillong himself, raj sent the three killers Akash Rajput, vishal Chauhan, and anand Kurmi after Sonam-Raja from indore itself. The killers also hired a bike from the same place where raja hired a scooter in Shillong. The three won Raja's trust by telling themselves to be from mp and kept roaming around together. A guide had also seen the three killers with the couple. This clue also proved to be important for the police in this case. In front of Sonam, the killers murdered raja with a sharp weapon in a closed parking yard in Sohra. After this, Raja's body was thrown into a ditch. After disposing of the body, the three killers separated.


These events also became clues.


On May 23, Sonam spoke to her mother-in-law. After noon, both their phones suddenly got switched off. This raised questions. The police took it into the investigation. After the murderthe weapon was also found near Raja's body. If the killers had to kill Sonam too, they would have used that weapon. This made the police understand that Sonam was not murdered. She is missing. Sonam had hatched the entire conspiracy. She had booked the plane tickets for Guwahati. But, the return tickets were not booked. This fact also raises questions.



Sonam had gone to Shillong with nine lakh rupees in cash and the jewelry received at the wedding. With the help of this money, she escaped for so many days. Sonam was trying to escape to nepal after the murder. Two other youths helped her hide and travel for so many days. Carrying such a large amount of cash and jewelry also raised the police's suspicion of Sonam.


Who was arrested by the police?


Meghalaya police held a press conference on monday afternoon in the case. During this, east Khasi Hills Superintendent of police Vivek Sim said that the first person arrested was 19-year-old akash Rajput of Lalitpur. The second accused Vishal Singh Chauhan (age 22 yearsis from Indore. The third Raj Singh Kushwaha (age 21 yearsis from Indore. Yesterday Sonam Raghuvanshi was in Ghazipur. Today afternoon we arrested another accused from Sagar district. A person has been detained at Nandgarh police station. The third team is going to arrest Sonam Raghuvanshi. These people committed the crime on May 23 and fled immediately. At that time we did not know that it was a murder. We were looking for them. We saw the missing person report, but no one was found. The body was found on June 2, after which the SIT was formed and the investigation began. In these 7 days, the SIT collected enough evidence. Raja had two marks of sharp weapon attack on his head. Sonam is one of the main accused. According to the initial investigation, the other accused carried out the murder, but Sonam's role in plotting the murder cannot be denied. After all, Sonam was also underground for so many days. It is difficult to say right now what was the motive behind the murder, but if we connect all the wires, it becomes clear that raj Kushwaha and Sonam must have been involved in it. raj Kushwaha was not here, but he was in contact with the other three accused.
