Meghalaya Police Arrest Indore Flat Owner in Honeymoon Murder Probe

The detention of Lokendra Singh Tomar follows seven prior arrests, deepening a probe into evidence concealment tied to the alleged conspiracy.

Overview

  • Lokendra Singh Tomar was detained Monday in Gwalior for allegedly aiding Sonam Raghuvanshi by destroying and concealing evidence in the Indore flat where she hid after fleeing Meghalaya.
  • His arrest raises the count of suspects to eight, including Sonam, her alleged lover Raj Kushwaha, three hired assailants and two other accomplices held last weekend.
  • Authorities say the flat housed a box with Sonam’s missing jewellery, a laptop and a pistol that was later burned at a clandestine site, with no valuables recovered.
  • The Meghalaya Police Special Investigation Team is coordinating operations across Meghalaya, Indore and Uttar Pradesh while probing premeditation evidenced by 119 calls between Sonam and Kushwaha and potential financial motives.
  • Sonam and Kushwaha remain in 13-day judicial custody in Shillong while investigators prepare a comprehensive chargesheet.
