Overview

  • Meghalaya Police have now detained all five accused in the May 23 killing of Raja Raghuvanshi during his honeymoon at Weisawdong Falls.
  • Investigators say Sonam Raghuvanshi and her alleged lover, Raj Kushwaha, plotted the premeditated murder in Indore days before her May 11 wedding, enlisting three friends as accomplices.
  • Authorities uncovered earlier schemes to fake Sonam’s death by burning another woman’s body and two failed assassination attempts in Guwahati and Nongriat before Raja was killed at Weisawdong.
  • After the murder Sonam fled in a burqa from Meghalaya to Indore via Guwahati, Siliguri, Patna, Ara and Lucknow before surrendering in Ghazipur on June 9.
  • Police plan to escort the suspects to Sohra for a detailed crime scene reconstruction as they gather evidence ahead of filing charges within the 90-day investigation period.
