Sonam made up story of being kidnapped & drugged: Meghalaya Police
The investigation into the murder of Raja Raghuvanshi, a 24-year-old man from Indore, has taken a dramatic turn with the Meghalaya Police rejecting the claims made by Sonam, the prime accused in the case. According to the police, Sonam had alleged that she was kidnapped and drugged by Raj Kushwaha, her alleged lover and a key suspect in the murder, on their honeymoon trip to Meghalaya. However, the police have now revealed that Sonam’s claims were completely fabricated and were part of a desperate attempt to avoid arrest.
The police’s claim was made by East Khasi Hills Superintendent of Police (SP) Vivek Syiem, who said that Sonam had come up with the story to avoid being arrested in connection with the murder. “She knew that he (Raj Kushwaha) is being investigated and would be arrested, so she came up with the story that she was kidnapped and drugged,” Syiem said in a statement.
The revelation has raised serious doubts about Sonam’s involvement in the murder, and has led to speculation about her motives for making up the story. As the investigation continues, the police are likely to face intense scrutiny over their handling of the case, particularly with regards to Sonam’s alleged kidnapping and drugging.
The murder of Raja Raghuvanshi took place on January 12, 2023, when he was found dead in his hotel room in Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya. The police were initially informed by Sonam, who claimed that she had been kidnapped and drugged by Kushwaha on their honeymoon trip. She alleged that Kushwaha had taken her to various locations in Meghalaya and had repeatedly raped her.
However, the police investigation has now revealed that Sonam’s claims were false, and that she had been in a relationship with Kushwaha. The police have recovered several incriminating pieces of evidence, including a video recording that shows Sonam and Kushwaha together in a hotel room.
The police have also arrested several people in connection with the murder, including Kushwaha and a few others who were allegedly involved in the crime. The investigation is ongoing, and the police are expected to provide more details about the case in the coming days.
The case has sent shockwaves across the country, with many people expressing outrage over the alleged murder of Raja Raghuvanshi. The police have been criticized for their handling of the case, particularly with regards to Sonam’s alleged kidnapping and drugging.
The case has also raised questions about the safety of women in Meghalaya, and the need for greater awareness about the issue of crime against women. The government has promised to take stern action against those responsible for the murder, and has promised to provide support to the family of the victim.
In conclusion, the case of Sonam and Raja Raghuvanshi’s murder is a complex and disturbing one, and it has highlighted the need for greater awareness about crime against women. The police investigation is ongoing, and it is expected to provide more details about the case in the coming days.
