Meghalaya Police Were Aware of Sonam Raghuvanshi’s Role in Raja Raghuvanshi’s Murder Before She Surrendered: Report

Police believe that Sonam Raghuvanshi and her accomplices planned Raja Raghuvanshi’s murder even before their wedding took place. Reports indicate that Meghalaya Police suspected Sonam’s involvement several days before she surrendered in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh. By June 3—just one day after they recovered Raja’s body from a gorge near a waterfall in Sohra, East Khasi Hills—the authorities had already confirmed her key role in what they now refer to as the ‘honeymoon murder.’

Once the team apprehended Sonam Raghuvanshi, the prime suspect, during her stay in Meghalaya, they confirmed her full involvement in the murder plot, according to the Deputy CM.
