Raja Raghuvanshi murder case: "Sonam definitely has a role in this matter," says her brother, Govind - World News Network

Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India], June 13 (ANI): In a significant development in the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case, Govind, the brother of Sonam Raghuvanshi (one of the main accused and Raja’s wife), has stated that the chain of events “confirms” Sonam involvement in the case.
When asked about Sonam’s involvement in the case, Govind told ANI, “Sonam will have a role. This channel of Raj Kushwaha, Vishal and others became through Sonam only, and this confirms her involvement. That is why I believe that she has a role.”
Govind further stated that he did not know their truth; otherwise, he wouldn’t have let this marriage happen. He exhorted that he has decided to fight against her sister Sonam.
He said, “Raj Kushwaha used to be an employee in my company. He used to manage the management of the godown and the dispatch of products. Jitendra Raghuvanshi is my relative and has no role in Raja’s murder… Both the families were very much ready for the marriage, and both (bride and groom) did shopping for the wedding together… This happened because I did not know the entire truth; otherwise, I wouldn’t have let this marriage happen… I have decided to fight against Sonam… I was fond of Raja because I saw a lot of good things in him…”
Earlier, the East Khasi Hills Police in Meghalaya revealed crucial details of the crime. Superintendent of Police (SP) Vivek Syiem disclosed that the murder was orchestrated by Raj Kushwaha, who was identified as the mastermind behind the killing.
SP Syiem stated, “The mastermind of this is Raj Kushwaha. Sonam played along with this plan. The three people involved are friends; one is Raj’s cousin. It was not a contract killing. They did it as a favour for their friend. Since they were in Indore, they have been planning how Sonam would disappear since February. When Raja and Sonam got married, they came to the Kamakhya Devi Temple. The other four people also came here a few days before. They planned to eliminate Raja in Guwahati. Sonam made the plan to come to Shillong.”
The police have arrested the accused, and further investigations are underway to uncover additional details in the case.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the court remanded all five key accused, including Sonam Raghuvanshi, to eight days of police custody in the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case, said police.
This development comes as the police continue their probe into the murder of Raja Raghuvanshi, whose body was discovered in a gorge near Sohra, close to Cherrapunji in Meghalaya, on June 2.
Sonam Raghuvanshi, the wife of the victim, along with four others – Akash Rajput, Vishal Singh Chauhan, Raj Singh Kushwaha and Anand – 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.
Raja Raghuvanshi and his wife, Sonam, both residents of Madhya Pradesh’s Indore, had gone missing during their honeymoon in the northeastern state of Meghalaya. (ANI)
