Meghalaya murder: "He has not done anything...": Sister of accused Raj Kushwaha demands justice for brother - World News Network

Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India], June 11 (ANI): The sister of Raj Singh Kushwaha, one of the accused in the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case, on Wednesday claimed that her brother has “not done anything” and requested justice for him.
Raj Kushwaha’s sister stated that she and her mother went to the Crime Branch yesterday to meet him, but weren’t allowed by the authorities.
Speaking to ANI, she said, “My brother has not done anything. He should get justice. We have not seen him since Sunday. We went to the Crime Branch, but they did not allow us to see him… My brother never spoke about Sonam Raghuvanshi. My brother used to take care of all of us after our father’s death. My brother passed Class 10th and had to stop studies after my father’s death. We will not be able to visit Meghalaya to see my brother… My only demand is that they should get justice…”
Her mother claimed that his son is being “trapped” and “can never do something like this”. She requested to save her son.
Speaking to ANI, his mother said, “My son is not like that; he can never do something like this. He is very young and was taking care of his three sisters after his father passed away. He started working at Govind’s (brother of Sonam Raghuvanshi) office. My husband passed away in 2020. After that, Raj has taken care of our family. Please save my son, this is my only request. I have no idea about any relationship between Sonam and my son. My son is being trapped. I don’t know who is behind this… I can’t even visit Meghalaya; I have no one to take me there,” she told ANI.
