Meghalaya murder: Sonam Raghuvanshi taken for medical examination in Shillong - World News Network

Shillong (Meghalaya) [India], June 11 (ANI): Sonam Raghuvanshi, the accused in the murder case of her husband Raja Raghuvanshi, on early Wednesday morning, was brought to Ganesh Das hospital for medical examination in Shillong.
Sonam is in a three-day transit remand with Meghalaya Police.
This comes after Meghalaya Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong on Tuesday informed that the four accused involved in the murder of Raja Raghuvanshi were being transported to Shillong.
“We have got the transit remand, most likely if not tonight, then all of them will be in Shillong tomorrow. The moment they land, we will produce them in the CJM (Chief Judicial Magistrate) court,” the Deputy CM told ANI.
Sonam Raghuvanshi, the wife of the victim, along with three others, including Akash Rajput, Vishal Singh Chauhan, and Raj Singh Kushwaha, are accused of murdering Raja Raghuvanshi, who recently got married and went on a honeymoon to Meghalaya.
Raja’s body was found on June 2 in a gorge at Sohra near Cherrapunji in Meghalaya. Sonam Raghuvanshi was later found near a dhaba on the Varanasi-Ghazipur main road.
Meghalaya’s Deputy CM said that some of the accused have already confessed to the crime and that Sonam, the wife, is also “fully involved.”
“All the accused have been arrested from different places – one in Madhya Pradesh, the other in UP. An SIT of Meghalaya Police went down to these two places. Some of them have also confessed to the crime they committed. The moment we were able to pick Sonam, being the prime suspect in the killing, we all came to know that she is fully involved in this operation during their stay here in Meghalaya,” the deputy CM said.
Earlier, a bystander identified as Sushil Lakwani attempted to attack one of the accused in the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case while the accused was being escorted by Shillong Police inside Indore airport.
The incident occurred as the police were transferring the accused, prompting a brief commotion at the scene.
Expressing his outrage, Lakwani told reporters, “I hit him because I am angry that a resident of Indore was killed. They should be hanged till death. The woman killed the man with full planning.”
The Shillong Police quickly intervened, ensuring the accused was safely moved inside the airport. (ANI)
