Sonam Raghuvanshi, the prime accused in the murder of her husband Raja Raghuvanshi, was brought to Shillong overnight. She was taken to the Ganesh Das hospital for her medical test and brought to the Sadar police station, where she spent the night. Sonam and the four accused are in a three-day transit remand with the Meghalaya Police.
Raja Raghuvanshi and Sonam got married on May 11. Nine days later, they left for their honeymoon in Meghalaya on May 20 – with a one-way ticket in hand. The couple roamed around the breathtaking hills for three days before going “missing”. On June 2, Raja’s body was found in a gorge near a waterfall in the Sohra area – triggering a murder investigation. On the night of June 7, officials found Sonam in an unconscious state at a ‘dhaba’ in Ghazipur. She was taken to the Ghazipur Medical College for treatment, where she surrendered before the police, and was subsequently arrested.
