Overview

  • Raja and Sonam Raghuvanshi were last seen on May 23 after hiring a scooter in Shillong for a Sohra trip, and their vehicle was discovered abandoned near Sohrarim village on May 24.
  • Search operations cover steep trails and deep gorges from Nongriat through Mawlakhait to Sohra Rim, with teams contending with low visibility and slippery slopes.
  • Meghalaya Police, backed by the State Disaster Response Force, Special Operations Team and K9 units, have deployed NESAC drones and thermal imaging in the hunt.
  • Torrential pre-monsoon showers and IMD red alerts halted May 29 efforts, diverting personnel to an SOS landslide rescue, with plans to resume once conditions improve.
  • The Raghuvanshi family has offered a ₹5 lakh reward for credible leads, and officials are weighing mandatory local guides after a Hungarian tourist’s fatal fall last month.
