Sonam Made Up Story of Being Kidnapped & Drugged: Meghalaya Police
The investigation into the murder of Raja Raghuvanshi, a 28-year-old man from Indore, has taken a new turn. The police have rejected the claims made by his wife, Sonam, who had alleged that she was kidnapped and drugged by unknown assailants during their honeymoon trip. According to East Khasi Hills Superintendent of Police Vivek Syiem, Sonam’s story was a fabrication designed to deflect attention from her own involvement in the crime.
Raja Raghuvanshi’s body was found in a hotel room in Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya, on January 13. The police investigation revealed that Sonam, who was the prime accused in the murder, had been having an affair with Raj Kushwaha, a businessman from Indore. The two had met on a social media platform and had been in a relationship for several months.
Sonam had initially claimed that she was kidnapped and drugged by unknown assailants during their honeymoon trip. She alleged that she had no memory of the events that led to her husband’s death and was unable to recall what happened after they checked into the hotel room. However, the police investigation revealed several inconsistencies in her story, which led them to suspect that she was not telling the truth.
According to SP Vivek Syiem, Sonam’s story was a desperate attempt to deflect attention from her own involvement in the crime. “She knew (Raj Kushwaha) is being investigated and would be arrested, so she came up with the story that she was kidnapped and drugged,” Syiem said. The police investigation revealed that Sonam had been in contact with Kushwaha on several occasions during their trip, and that she had been planning to meet him at the hotel.
The police also found several incriminating pieces of evidence, including a text message sent by Sonam to Kushwaha on the night of the murder. The message, which was sent at 12:45 am, read: “I am free. Meet me at the hotel.” The police also found a surveillance camera footage that showed Sonam and Kushwaha meeting at the hotel lobby around 1:30 am.
The police investigation also revealed that Sonam had been planning to leave her husband and start a new life with Kushwaha. The two had been discussing their plans to meet in Shillong and start a new life together. Sonam had also been planning to take out a life insurance policy on her husband, which would have given her a substantial sum of money.
The police have now arrested Sonam and are investigating her role in her husband’s murder. The investigation is ongoing, and the police are waiting for the forensic reports to confirm the cause of death.
The case has sent shockwaves across the country, with many people expressing outrage and disbelief at Sonam’s alleged actions. The case has also raised questions about the prevalence of infidelity and domestic violence in India.
In conclusion, the case of Raja Raghuvanshi’s murder is a tragic reminder of the dangers of infidelity and domestic violence. The police investigation has revealed that Sonam’s story was a fabrication designed to deflect attention from her own involvement in the crime. The case is a stark reminder of the importance of staying vigilant and protecting oneself from the dangers of infidelity and domestic violence.
