Shillong: Sonam Raghuvanshi, the alleged mastermind in the chilling murder of her husband Raja Raghuvanshi, has been successfully brought to Shillong Sadar Police Station. She is currently under a three-day transit remand with Meghalaya Police, a crucial development in the unfolding investigation that has gripped public attention across states. This morning, June 11, Raghuvanshi was taken to Ganesh Das Hospital for a routine medical examination, a standard procedure as authorities delve deeper into the complex case.
In a related development, four other individuals implicated in the case – Akash Rajput, Vishal Singh Chauhan, Raj Singh Kushwaha, and Anand – arrived at Guwahati airport under the escort of Shillong Police. Their arrival follows a seven-day transit remand, granted to facilitate further investigation into their roles in the gruesome crime. These four accused are expected to be presented before a court in Shillong, where the police are poised to seek extended remand for continued questioning and evidence gathering.
Police sources reveal that Sonam Raghuvanshi is undergoing rigorous questioning, with investigators meticulously attempting to reconstruct her movements in the days leading up to and immediately after her husband’s demise. Of particular interest are her reported travels from Indore to Ghazipur, and how she came to be located near a roadside eatery on the Varanasi-Ghazipur highway. Adding to the critical evidence, police have also seized clothing believed to have been worn by Vishal Singh Chauhan on the day of the alleged murder. These garments will be dispatched for forensic examination, a step vital for corroborating testimonies and establishing a clear timeline of events.
The discovery of Raja Raghuvanshi’s body on June 2, found tragically in a gorge at Sohra, near Cherrapunji, sent shockwaves through the region. Raghuvanshi had only recently married Sonam, adding a layer of tragic irony to the already disturbing case. The gruesome nature of the murder and the intricate web of alleged accomplices spanning multiple states have made this a high-priority investigation, with police working diligently to unravel the full truth behind this shocking crime.
