In a chilling twist to the Meghalaya honeymoon murder, Sonam Raghuvanshi, the wife of deceased Raja Raghuvanshi, has been located near a dhaba on the Varanasi-Ghazipur road in Uttar Pradesh. Police now suspect that Sonam orchestrated the entire plot, hiring contract killers to murder her husband during their honeymoon.
🚨 From Honeymoon to Homicide
The couple, both residents of Indore, Madhya Pradesh, had recently travelled to Meghalaya for their honeymoon. Ten days later, Raja’s body was recovered from a deep gorge near Cherrapunji, sparking immediate concerns of a premeditated crime.
Sonam was reportedly on the run, prompting a multi-state search by law enforcement agencies.
🧭 Tracked, Located, and Surrender of Sonam Raghuvanshi
Under increasing pressure, Sonam Raghuvanshi surrendered at the Nandganj police station in Uttar Pradesh. She was taken for medical evaluation at Sadar Hospital and later transferred to Sakhi One Stop Centre, a government shelter for women victims of violence.
