The Meghalaya police said on Monday afternoon that 24 -year -old Sonam Raghuvanshi is considered one of the major suspects in the murder of her newly married husband Raja Raghuvanshi, along with 21 -year -old Raj Kushwaha, who was arrested from Indore in a raid last night. A total of four people have been arrested in the case so far, while a police team from Meghalaya is on the way to Gazipur in Uttar Pradesh to arrest Sonam.
Superintendent of Police, East Khasi Hills, Vivek Simi said that Raj Kushwaha, who is suspected of being in a relationship with Sonam, was the “handlers” of the other three accused, who are suspicious as the attackers who murdered in Sohra, Meghalaya. Raj, the police said, there was never in Meghalaya itself.
They said that Sonam’s participation in planning a crime “Cannot be out” and that the police is in the process of achieving transit remand to bring him to Meghalaya for questioning.
The other two arrested last night are Vishal Singh Chauham (22), who was also picked up from Indore, and Akash Rajput (19), who was arrested from Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh. A fourth person Anand Singh Kurmi (23) was arrested from Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh around noon on Monday.
Eim said that two teams of Meghalaya Police traveled to Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh on Sunday and raided these places with local police to make these arrests, and that a third team is on the way to Gazipur district of Uttar Pradesh, where the Sonam is in local police custody after surrendering “Sunday night”.
Asked by reporters whether a relationship between two prominent accused seems to be the primary purpose behind the crime, “If we add dots, the initial investigation will reveal that the whole motive and crime were detected. Because when we used to add dots, it would not be able to tell, and it indicates it.”
These arrests come after more than two weeks of the couple, who got married in Indore last month, on May 23, while traveling in Meghalaya for their honeymoon, went missing while traveling in Meghalaya. Eim said the case was first considered as one of the missing tourists and that the king’s body was recovered deeply in a gorge under the Wei Sodong Falls last Monday, it had turned into an investigation into a murder.
