The Meghalaya police on Monday indicated that the motive behind tourist Raja Raghuvanshi’s murder could stem from the affair of his wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, with Raj Kushwaha who was Sonam’s employee with her planning her husband’s murder days after getting married to him.
The first person arrested is a 19-year-old Akash Rajput, from Lalitpur and the second accused is Vishal Singh Chauhan, age 22 years, from Indore, and the third is Raj Singh Kushwaha, age 21 years, from Indore. These people committed the crime on 23rd May and left soon after with Raja’s body found only on 2 June.
The fourth accused, Anand Kurmi, was arrested in Madhya Pradesh’s Sagar.

Later, when Sonam and three other suspects were taken into custody, the Meghalaya Police made a significant breakthrough. Meghalaya DGP I Nongrang claims that during Raja’s honeymoon, individuals hired by his wife are accused of killing him.
Sonam “surrendered at Nandganj police station in Uttar Pradesh,” the DGP told the reporters, and was taken into custody. As part of the Special Investigation Team’s (SIT) nighttime raids, three additional suspects have also been taken into custody, two from Indore and one from Uttar Pradesh.
“The arrested men have revealed that the wife had hired them to kill Raghuvanshi,” said Nongrang, adding that operations are still underway in Madhya Pradesh to track down more individuals involved in the crime.

The police claim that Sonam used the three detained suspects to plan and carry out Raja’s murder. Raja Raghuvanshi’s brother, Vipin Raghuvanshi, however, denied official statements that Sonam had willingly turned herself in to the authorities.
“Sonam has not surrendered. She called us. We informed the police so they could take her into safe custody,” Vipin said.
