What have you gone to see up there?

Did you eat anything?

Are you making a video or not?

You are there for how many more days?

These are some of the pressing questions that Raja Raghuvanshi's mother put to him in a call on May 23, in what turned out to be her last call to her son. Read here

The Meghalaya Police knew on June 3, a day after they found the body of Raja Raghuvanshi in a gorge, that Sonam Raghuvanshi was involved in the honeymoon murder. The Meghalaya Police has claimed that all those involved in the conspiracy to kill the man from Indore have been arrested in the operation that they codenamed 'Operation Honeymoon'. Read here

Sonam Raghuvanshi had offered Rs 4 lakh to hired killers for the murder of her husband Raja Raghuvanshi, sources said, adding she later raised the amount to Rs 20 lakh. According to top police sources, Sonam helped the other accused in pushing Raghuvanshi's body into a gorge in Meghalaya. Read here

The first contact between Sonam and Raja was made through a traditional matrimonial directory - the Samaj Parichay Pustika - on October 1, 2024. As part of a Ram Navami ritual, names of eligible boys and girls from the community are published in the booklet to help families arrange matches.

Sonam's father enrolled her name. Raja's family did the same. There was no prior acquaintance - only a profile that seemed right. They met, liked what they saw, and agreed to marry.

Raja's mother, Uma Raghuvanshi, described it as a perfectly arranged match - no love affair, no hidden motives.

But something darker was quietly taking shape.

Sonam, the daughter of plywood factory owner Devi Singh Raghuvanshi, lived in Kushwah Nagar, Indore. She ran nearly every department of the family business - billing, accounts, supervision. Years ago, a man named Raj Kushwaha worked in the billing department of Sonam's father's factory. He also lived near Sonam's home. That same man - now at the center of a police investigation - is believed to have re-entered her life and become her alleged accomplice. Police now call him the co-mastermind.

Was Raj simply a former employee or something far more sinister?

Raja Raghuvanshi was the youngest of three brothers in a tightly knit joint family in Sahkar Nagar, Indore. His two elder brothers, Sachin and Vipin, were married. Raja had taken charge of the family business - "Raghuvanshi Transport" - providing buses on rent to schools and coaching institutes since 2007. By all accounts, Raja was diligent, responsible, and ready for a new chapter in life: marriage.

Last month, on May 11, he married Sonam Raghuvanshi in a traditional ceremony. Twelve days later, he was dead, brutally assaulted, his lifeless body abandoned in the dense wilderness of Meghalaya.

Sonam And Raja Raghuvanshi got married on May 11. By May 20, the newlyweds had left for a honeymoon in Meghalaya. What returned was only a body. On June 2, Raja was found dead in a gorge. His head bore injuries from a sharp weapon, believed to be a machete; his phone was switched off, and no call records were leading to his last moments. Sonam - missing.

Investigators believe the murder was premeditated.

Was the marriage a front?

Was there a secret network involved?

Meghalaya Minister Alexander Laloo Hek on Tuesday demanded an apology from the families of both Sonam and Raja Raghuvanshi for allegedly 'tarnishing' the image of the state and its people under the ongoing murder case. Speaking to news agency ANI, Meghalaya Minister Alexander Laloo Hek said, "We are thankful to the Meghalaya police for the breakthroughs in the ongoing investigation of the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case. Now we are seeking an apology from Sonam and Raja Raghuvanshi's families for tarnishing the image of Meghalaya and its people. We will file a case of defamation if they don't comply."

It began with a name in a booklet - and ended with a body in the jungle. This isn't the script of a thriller web series, this is the haunting, real-life story of two well-known families in Indore, bound together through an arranged marriage, shattered by a murder in the misty hills of Meghalaya.

The wedding took place on May 11. By May 20, the newlyweds had left for a honeymoon in Meghalaya. What returned was only a body. On June 2, Raja was found dead in a gorge. His head bore injuries from a sharp weapon, believed to be a machete; his phone was switched off, and no call records were leading to his last moments. Sonam - missing. Read here

Soon after her husband was killed and thrown into a gorge in front of her eyes, Sonam Raghuvanshi - prime accused in the murder case - posted from Raja Raghuvanshi's phone: "Saat janmon ka saath hai (Together for seven lives)".

The ironic message, right after the gruesome murder, was posted in an attempt to portray the husband was still alive.

According to the sources, Raja was killed on May 23, the same day the couple were reported to be missing. The post was made at 2:15 pm, the sources said.

The sister of Indore businessman Raja Raghuvanshi, who was allegedly murdered by his wife, Sonam, and her lover, Raj Singh Kushwaha, in Meghalaya, has slammed her sister-in-law, saying she could have "eloped if she liked someone else".

"You could have eloped if you liked someone else. Why did you kill him? Why did you take away someone's brother, someone's son," she added, sobbing.

The sinister murder plan of Raja Raghuvanshi, an Indore-based businessman during his honeymoon, was allegedly hatched by his wife and her lover - who hired three 'contract killers'. Now, a new twist in the case suggests that the three killers are not really assassins but the lover, Raj Kushwaha's friends.

The three accused have been identified as - Anand Kumri, Akash Rajput, and Vicky Thakur. All of them are residents of Madhya Pradesh, officials said. Anand Kumri (23) was arrested from Uttar Pradesh's Bina district.

Sonam Raghuvanshi last spoke to her in-laws while trekking to a steep peak to get a glimpse of a waterfall in the lush mountains of Meghalaya. The picturesque hills offered breathtaking views, she argued when her mother-in-law questioned the need for undertaking such a steep hike.

It appeared to be a normal conversation between a caring mother and her child, except for the possible clues that it threw up on Raja's murder during their honeymoon, for which she is the prime suspect.

Raja's mother, Uma Raghuvanshi, likely made the phone call before the couple went missing on May 23. In an unverified audio clip of the phone call, she was first heard enquiring if her son's phone had started working, indicating she had been trying to reach him, but couldn't.

Sonam answered negatively.

"We are climbing. We will call once we reach," she replied, though it's not known if that promised call was ever made.

Towards the end of the phone call, his mother seemed relieved to be able to reach her daughter-in-law. However, with Raja not speaking to his mother during the call, it is not known if he had been killed by that time. How this last phone call fits in with the police version of events will be significant in answering the questions that remain.

Raj Kushwaha's sister also said her brother is innocent and cannot commit murder. She also claimed that Raj was in the city, not Shillong. Raj's little sister urged checking the office records to verify he was here.

"Vicky and Raj are both my brothers. They can never do something like this. My brother Raj did not go anywhere. You can ask the people at his office," she said.

With folded hands, Raj's sister pleaded her brother be saved. "My only demand is that my brother should be released. He is being falsely accused. My brother is innocent."

Raj Kushwaha, alleged lover of Sonam Raghuvanshi and a co-accused in Indore man Raja Raghuvanshi's murder case, is innocent and is being falsely accused, claimed his mother in an interview.

Speaking to the news agency ANI, Raj's mother said, "My son can never do something like this. He is just 20... He is my only son... He used to work at Sonam's brother's factory. She also used to work there and both would interact. He is being falsely accused."

Sharing an example of what she said is her son's innocence and kindness, the woman narrated an incident and said, "My son would give away his footwear if he saw someone walking barefoot. I would scold him. I would tell him I won't give you food, but he would still donate."

Raj's mother requested that her son be proven innocent.

"I request the government to prove him innocent. He is innocent," she said while sobbing.

In one of the videos shared by Raja's influencer sister, Shrasti, Raj can be seen with Sonam's father, Devi Singh, at Raja's funeral.

Speaking to NDTV, UP Police's Additional Director General (Law and Order) Amitabh Yash called Sonam Raghuvanshi, who allegedly killed her husband Raja, a poor planner. Sonam surrendered to police in Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur on Monday night, claiming to have killed her husband, whose body was found in a gorge on June 2, days after the couple went missing on May 23.

Mr Yash said, "Sonam is a poor planner. She lacked knowledge of police procedures and thought she could escape by posing as a victim, but she failed. The Meghalaya police have done excellent work and are currently handling the case. If they seek assistance, we will provide it."

Sonam Raghuvanshi, who surrendered in Uttar Pradesh for killing her husband, Raja Raghuvanshi, during their honeymoon in Meghalaya, claimed that she was drugged and brought to Ghazipur. 

Speaking to NDTV, UP Police's Additional Director General (Law and Order) Amitabh Yash said, "Sonam presented herself as a victim before the police, claiming she was drugged and brought to Ghazipur. She informed her family about this, knowing the police would eventually reach her. Around 3 am on Monday, she told her family that she was at a dhaba on the Ghazipur-Varanasi road. Her family immediately contacted the Madhya Pradesh police, who informed the local police, leading to Sonam's arrest. She was sent for a medical checkup and then to a One-Stop Centre. The Meghalaya police are now interrogating her and completing legal formalities."

Following Sonam Raghuvanshi's surrender in the Meghalaya honeymoon murder case in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, her brother Govind Raghuvanshi on Monday has refrained from commenting further.

"When she called me, I got emotional, and later informed the police. Until I meet her (Sonam), I cannot say anything. For the last 72 hours, I have been awake. It's been 20 days since I met her," Govind said.

Sonam, on Monday night, surrendered to the Police in Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur. She reportedly went to a dhaba, where she borrowed a phone to call her brother. The brother then asked the dhaba owner to inform the local police station, said Sahil Yadav, the owner of the Kashi Dhaba.

Vipin Raghuvanshi, brother of Raja Raghuvani, who was allegedly killed by his wife, Sonam, during their honeymoon in Meghalaya, finds it unbelievable that Sonam had a boyfriend and that she is responsible for the murder.

Sonam allegedly killed her husband in connivance with her boyfriend, Raj Kushwaha, who hired contract killers.

Though Vipin had not met Raj, the alleged boyfriend, he had heard of him, and not in any flattering context. Sonam, he said, would always berate him for being a poor worker. Unless Sonam confesses, "we will have the doubt that she is being framed... So, we want to hear from her," he told NDTV in an exclusive interview.

The neighbour of Sonam Raghuvanshi, an accused in the Indore couple case could not believe that she could be involved in these kinds of criminal activities.

Speaking with ANI, Sapna Solanki, a neighbour of Sonam, said that Sonam was quite happy at the time of her marriage.

"Her (Sonam's) behaviour was very good. The wedding was celebrated with great pomp and Sonam looked very happy. There was no fear or suspicion that she could do something like this. We do not think she has done anything like that," she said.

Another neighbour said, "Didi (Sonam) had a very good nature. She remained friendly with everyone. Everyone calls her 'Bitti'. I don't think she would have done such a thing because given her nature, she could only do good things like that."

A resident of the same locality expressed sadness over Sonam's involvement in the case.

"She had a very good nature. Hearing this today, we are very saddened because we never thought this way about her," another resident said.

Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma has said the state police will take what has been dubbed the "honeymoon murder" to its logical conclusion. "We will do whatever it takes. Our government and state have been defamed (even though) none of the accused are from Meghalaya," he told NDTV in an exclusive interview.

Sahil Yadav, the owner of the Kashi Dhaba on the Varanasi-Ghazipur road in Uttar Pradesh, has revealed crucial details about the dramatic moment when Sonam Raghuvanshi approached him early Monday, hours before she surrendered in connection with the murder of her husband, Raja Raghuvanshi.
On Monday night, at around 1 am, Sonam approached Sahil Yadav and asked for help. "She asked for a mobile phone. When I asked what happened, she said her phone had been stolen, and it was urgent. She gave me a number, and I called for her. She spoke to her family," Mr Yadav told the news agency IANS.

Mr Yadav claims he spoke to the family since Sonam was crying and could barely talk properly. Upon the family's request, he informed the nearest police station. Later, when Mr Yadav tried intervening and asked Sonam what had happened, she revealed that her husband had been killed.

"After a while, I went and asked her what had happened. She said that in May, she got married. She and her husband had gone to Meghalaya for their honeymoon, and Raja was killed while trying to protect her from a group of men who attempted to snatch her jewellery," Mr Yadav said, adding that she "did not remember how she got to Uttar Pradesh."

Meghalaya is a safe place for tourists, underscored Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong even as he said he was "shocked" that a man was murdered during his honeymoon in the state allegedly by killers hired by his wife.

"Personally, even I am shocked on how such a crime can take place? It is unbelievable and unacceptable to me. Initially, when I was informed, I was unable to believe that this can be true," said Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong.

"On behalf of the entire state and people of Meghalaya, I request everyone in the country to believe that Meghalaya is a safe place for tourists. Please come. We have seen some anti-state campaign, where people were mentioning that it is not a safe state, but trust me, it is a safe state and we invite tourists like always," he added.

Indore-based businessman Raja Raghuvanshi was attacked twice - once each on the back and front of his head - a preliminary autopsy report found, per police sources.

The attack, in which Mr Raghuvanshi died, was a plan hatched by his wife Sonam Raghuvanshi, her lover Raj Kushwaha and others while the couple were on their honeymoon in Meghalaya.

A statement from a tourist guide - possibly the last person to see Raja Raghuvanshi alive - alerted police to the possibility that three other men were involved in a grisly murder case filled with plot twists worthy of a Bollywood 'masala' movie, including hitmen, a love affair, and a bloody machete.

At 10 am on May 23, Raja and his wife Sonam, from Indore in Madhya Pradesh, were spotted in Meghalaya's Mawlakhiat. That was the last time Raja was seen alive.

They were seen by Albert Pde, a local who had helped guide them a day earlier through a three-hour trek to Nongriat to visit the 'living roots' bridge. He told local police he saw Raja and Sonam with three other men, none of whom were locals, he believed, because all three conversed in Hindi.

Sources said this helped the cops expand search parameters.

Who these men are is unclear at this time, but three male suspects - Vicky, Akash, and Anand - have been arrested in connection with Raja's murder. Police believe these were the hitmen.

Asserting that Meghalaya is safe for visitors, Tourism Minister Paul Lyngdoh on Monday said legal action would be taken against those who harmed the image of the state in the backdrop of the murder of the tourist from Indore.

Raja Raghuvanshi, a resident of Indore in Madhya Pradesh, was murdered while honeymooning in the state's Sohra area. His wife was among the five people arrested in connection with the killing.

Speaking to PTI, Lyngdoh said efforts were made to dent the image of Meghalaya, which is a safe destination for tourists.

"The state government has directed the police to register FIRs to ensure that all these perpetrators are brought to book," he said.

Raghuvanshi's murder was the first such case to happen in Sohra in years, he said.

"We congratulate the SIT, the mountaineering association, the rock climbing association, and the local people of Sohra, the media fraternity, who, despite very challenging terrain and the slush in the peak of monsoon, recovered the body of Raghuvanshi from the gorge," he added.

Lyngdoh alleged that people across the country were incited against communities from Meghalaya.

Three people arrested in the murder case of Indore transport businessman Raja Raghuvanshi were on Monday produced in a district court here which sent them to the transit custody of the Meghalaya police for seven days, a police official said.

Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Rajesh Dandotia told PTI that the Meghalaya police arrested the trio, Raj Kushwah, Vishal Chauhan and Akash Rajput, and produced them before a Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) in Indore, days after the murder in the north-eastern state.

Dandotia said before being produced before the CJM, the three accused were medically examined at a government hospital in the city.

He said, "The Meghalaya police will take the three people with them on the basis of transit custody and will question them in detail. We have come to know that these accused know each other before. Two of these accused are friends of Raj Kushwah." The trio was caught in a joint operation conducted by Indore and Meghalaya police on the intervening night of Sunday-Monday. Two of them were arrested from Indore, while the third person was taken into custody from near this city in Madhya Pradesh, informed the IPS officer.

It began with a name in a booklet - and ended with a body in the jungle.

This isn't the script of a thriller web series, this is the haunting, real-life story of two well-known families in Indore, bound together through an arranged marriage, shattered by a murder in the misty hills of Meghalaya.

Raja Raghuvanshi: The Youngest Son of a Respected Transport Family

Raja Raghuvanshi was the youngest of three brothers in a tightly knit joint family in Sahkar Nagar, Indore. His two elder brothers, Sachin and Vipin, were married. Raja had taken charge of the family business - "Raghuvanshi Transport" - providing buses on rent to schools and coaching institutes since 2007.

Sonam has now been named the prime accused in her husband, Raja Raghuvanshi’s murder, with her alleged lover also involved in the plot, according to sources. Raj Kushwaha, who was reportedly in a relationship with Sonam, has been identified as the mastermind behind the killing. Three others — Vicky Thakur, Akash, and Anand — are believed to have carried out the murder.

In Raja Raghuvanshi's murder case, the police have made four arrests, apart from Sonam Raghuvanshi, the wife who surrendered.

The arrested people are:

Officials said that the couple had left for their trip to the Northeastern state wearing all their gold jewellery. While Sonam went to the airport directly from her parents' house, Raja left his house wearing gold jewellery worth more than Rs 10 lakh, which included a diamond ring, a chain, and a bracelet.

When Raja's mother questioned him, he told her that Sonam wanted him to wear it.

Hours after a newly married Indore woman surrendered before the police after allegedly getting her husband killed, a video of their wedding has emerged, showing a cheerful Raja Raghuvanshi applying sindoor on the forehead of Sonam, dressed in a red Banarasi saree.

Sonam Raghuvanshi had made all the bookings, including travel and stay, for their honeymoon trip to Meghalaya - but did not book a return ticket, the murdered Indore-based businessman's mother said on Monday.

"It was Sonam’s idea to visit Shillong for their honeymoon. She made all the bookings, including travel and stay. Raja learnt about it later," Uma Raghuvansi, Raja's mother said.

Sonam Raghuvanshi, who has reportedly surrendered in the murder of her husband Raja Raghuvanshi, after the two went missing during their honeymoon in Meghalaya, called her family late last night from a local dhaba (roadside eatery) in Uttar Pradesh. Sahil Yadav, owner of Kashi Dhaba said, Sonam started crying on calling her family. She was not mentally well, Mr Yadav claimed.

Speaking to the news agency ANI, Mr Yadav recalled the episode and said, "Sonam came here around 1am and asked the customers for help. Then she walked to me and asked for my phone to call her family. I gave her my mobile. She started crying while talking to her family. I spoke to the family and informed them about her location. The call disconnected."

Mr Yadav offered Sonam water, he said. "After a while, her brother called me and asked to inform the local police about Sonam's whereabouts. Around 2-2:30 am, Police took Sonam," he added.

Sonam was reportedly alone.

Meghalaya cops believe Sonam was in an extra-marital affair that led to Raja's murder. She orchestrated the murder in connivance with her boyfriend, Raj Kushwaha, according to them.

Not much is known about Kushwaha from official channels, but the victim's family has broken silence on this person. Raj Kushwaha was Sonam's employee and they would speak on the phone a lot, alleged Vipul Raghuvanshi, Raja Raghuvanshi's brother. "I have never seen Raj Kushwaha, I have just heard his name. Sonam can be involved in this," he told ANI.

The family of Raja Raghuvanshi, the Indore-based businessman who was found dead during his honeymoon in Meghalaya, has demanded justice after the victim's wife surrendered to killing him. Raja's brother, Sachin, said that Sonam being found alive raises many questions.

"We want to know why Raja was murdered. Sonam being found alive raises questions. Who were the other people who killed Raja?" Sachin said on NDTV.

Raja and Sonam got married on May 11.

According to Raja's brother, everything was normal during the wedding. "We went shopping together before the wedding. No one suspected anything untoward," he said.

Amitabh Yash, Additional Director General of Law and Order, Uttar Pradesh, said Sonam Raghuvanshi will be handed over to Meghalaya Police as soon as they reach Ghazipur. UP Police has not interrogated her.

Speaking to news agency ANI, Mr Yash said, "Sonam Raghuvanshi called her family members at around 3 AM and informed them that she was present at the Kashi Dhaba on Varanasi-Ghazipur main road. Ghazipur Police took her to the hospital and then to the One Stop Centre in Ghazipur. Meghalaya Police was present in Indore to investigate this case. Sonam Raghuvanshi will be handed over to Meghalaya Police as soon as they reach Ghazipur. UP Police has not interrogated Sonam Raghuvanshi."

Sonam's family has strongly refuted the murder allegations. Her father, Devi Singh, maintains that his daughter is innocent and has called for an independent inquiry by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

"My daughter is innocent. I have trust in my daughter. She cannot do this (kill her husband)... They got married with the consent of both families. The state (Meghalaya) government has been lying from the beginning. My daughter came to a dhaba in Ghazipur last night and she called her brother...Police went to the dhaba, and she was taken from there. I have not been able to speak to my daughter. Why will my daughter do such a thing? The Meghalaya Police is lying. My daughter reached Ghazipur on her own. She was not arrested in Meghalaya. Meghalaya Police is making up stories. Let the CBI inquiry begin, all officers at the police station (in Meghalaya) will be behind bars," he said.

Sonam Raghuvanshi, the woman who is suspected to be involved in the murder of her husband, Indore-based Raja Raghuvanshi, during their honeymoon in Meghalaya, "surrendered under pressure," the police said.

Speaking exclusively to IANS, Inspector General of Police (Law and Order), Dalton P Marak, stated, "Sonam surrendered under pressure last night, bringing the total number of arrests in the case to four. One accused remains missing. Sonam will be brought back to Meghalaya for court proceedings."

Newly wed Indore couple -- Raja Raghuvanshi and his wife Sonam -- visited some areas during their honeymoon in Meghalaya before they went missing on May 23. While Raja Raghuvanshi's body was found in a gorge on June 2, his wife was arrested this morning for the alleged murder of her husband. 

The couple married on May 11 and left for their honeymoon on May 20. Here is what happened after that:
May 21, 6 pm: Shillong

The couple reached Balaji Guest House in Meghalaya's capital Shillong and checked in.

May 22, morning: Shillong

In the morning, they went out on Keating Road, rented a scooty and returned to Balaji Guest House. They checked out without having breakfast. They told the manager they would return by May 25 and would call if they needed a room. From Shillong, they rode the scooty to the popular tourist hotspot Sohra (Cherrapunji), carrying two luggages.

May 22, evening: Mawlakhiat, East Khasi Hills district

The couple arrived at Mawlakhiat village in East Khasi Hills, and kept the scooty at a parking spot run by the local community for tourists. They hired a local guide to trek to Shipara Homestay at Nongriat village in the same district.

May 23, morning: Mawlakhiat, East Khasi Hills district

The couple checked out from Shipara Homestay and returned to Mawlakhiat village without the guide. The same day, they set out from Mawlakhiat and went missing thereafter. A search began in the surrounding areas.

May 24: Sohrarim

The headman of Sohrarim village in East Khasi Hills reported to the police that they found an abandoned scooty at their village.

May 25: Sohrarim

The police traced the scooty owner, who came to Sohra police station and confirmed that a couple from Madhya Pradesh's Indore - Raja Raghuvanshi, 27, and Sonam, 25 - rented the two-wheeler.

May 26: Sohrarim

A search began in this area too.

June 2: Wei Sawdong Falls 

A police drone spotted a body in a gorge below Wei Sawdong Falls. The semi-decomposed body was retrieved and identified as that of Raja Raghuvanshi by his family.

June 4: Raincoat Found

Meghalaya Police found a raincoat with stains. The police said they are checking if the raincoat matches the one worn by Sonam in available video footage.

Within 7 days a major breakthrough has been achieved by the #meghalayapolice in the Raja murder case … 3 assailants who are from Madhya Pradesh have been arrested, female has surrendered and operation still on to catch 1 more assailant .. well done #meghalayapolice

The 'missing' wife of Indore man - Raja Raghuvanshi, who was found dead in Meghalaya during their honeymoon, has been arrested in connection with the alleged murder of her husband, officials said on Monday. According to the police, the wife, Sonam, allegedly orchestrated the murder by hiring contract killers.

Officials said they found Sonam in an unconscious state on Saturday night at a 'dhaba' in Ghazipur. She was taken to the Ghazipur Medical College for treatment, where she surrendered before the police, and was subsequently arrested.

Meghalaya Director General of Police (DGP) Idashisha Nongrang said that they arrested three other accused in overnight raids. While one person was found in Uttar Pradesh, the other two were arrested from Indore. The accused have told the police that they were hired by Sonam to kill her husband.
