Honeymoon Horror: Sonam Raghuvanshi Confesses, More Chilling Details Emerge in Meghalaya Murder Case

Shillong, Meghalaya – The tragic "honeymoon murd*r" case of Indore businessman Raja Raghuvanshi has taken a shocking turn, with his wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, reportedly confessing to her involvement in his brutal k*ll*ng. The Meghalaya Police have made significant progress in the investigation, bringing to light chilling details of the alleged conspiracy that led to Raja's death in the picturesque yet ill-fated Meghalaya trip.

Confession and Arrests:

Sonam Raghuvanshi was apprehended in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, after initially surfacing there and claiming to be unwell. Following her arrest, and the prior apprehension of her alleged lover, Raj Kushwaha, and three other co-accused (Akash Rajput, Vishal Singh Chauhan, and Anand Kurmi), police interrogation has yielded crucial information. Multiple reports indicate that Sonam has confessed to her role in orchestrating Raja's murder during cross-examination, particularly when confronted with evidence and in the presence of Raj Kushwaha.



While confessions made to the police are not admissible in court without being recorded before a magistrate, this alleged admission marks a significant breakthrough for the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the case.

The Elaborate Plot Unfolds:

Police investigations suggest a meticulously planned conspiracy. According to sources, Sonam reportedly began coordinating the murd*r plot with Raj Kushwaha just four days after her wedding to Raja on May 11. She allegedly lured Raja to the Northeast, specifically Meghalaya, under the pretext of a honeymoon and a visit to the Kamakhya temple.

It's believed that Sonam even planned to push Raja off a cliff herself if the hired k*ll*rs failed to execute the plan. She reportedly paid ₹20 lakh to the contract k*ll*rs and initially handed over ₹15,000 directly from Raja's wallet during the crime.

The Day of the Murder:

On May 23, the couple reportedly checked out of their homestay in Nongriat and embarked on a trek in Cherrapunji. They were allegedly joined by the three hired men, who posed as fellow tourists. A local guide, Albert Pde, has provided testimony of seeing the group. Police claim that Sonam deliberately lagged behind during the trek and gave a cue by shouting "k*ll him," leading to Raja being attacked with a sharp weapon and his body subsequently pushed into a gorge near Wei Sawdong Falls.

Family Reactions and Ongoing Investigation:

The Raghuvanshi family, devastated by Raja's death, has expressed their shock and grief. Raja's brother, Sachin Raghuvanshi, has thanked the Meghalaya government and police for their swift action and has apologized if the case inadvertently tarnished the state's image. He, along with other family members, has demanded strict action against all culprits and, in some instances, even called for a CBI inquiry to unearth further details. Sonam's own brother, Govind, has publicly disowned her and demanded the harshest punishment if she is found guilty.

All five accused – Sonam Raghuvanshi, Raj Kushwaha, Akash Rajput, Vishal Singh Chauhan, and Anand Kurmi – are currently in police custody. They were produced in a Shillong court and have been remanded in police custody for eight days to facilitate further interrogation and a possible crime scene reconstruction. The police aim to corroborate statements and gather all evidence to build a strong case against the accused.

The "honeymoon murder" continues to shock the nation, revealing a dark tale of betrayal and calculated crime. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected to emerge as the police delve deeper into the conspiracy.
