Every day new revelations are
being made in Indore's famous Raja-Sonam Raghuvanshi case. Now this case has
become a thrilling murder mystery, which includes everything - love, marriage,
conspiracy and murder. Raja Raghuvanshi and Sonam
Raghuvanshi (formerly Sonam Sahu) got married in Indore on May 11 with the
consent of the family. Just 9 days after the wedding, on May 20, the couple
left for Meghalaya for honeymoon. But on May 23, both of them suddenly went
missing. Mobile off, GPS off, did not return to the hotel. Sensation spread
across the country. After 10 days of continuous
searching, Raja's body was found in a ditch on June 2. The postmortem report
blew the police's senses - deep and horrific wounds were found on Raja's neck
and body, which clearly point to an attack with a sharp weapon. The police
investigation revealed that Raja and Sonam were last seen in Meghalaya's Sohra
(Cherrapunji) area from his Activa scooty. It was here that Sonam's black
raincoat and white shirt were recovered—which testify that something sinister
had happened. Local guides claim that they
saw the couple heading towards the forest, accompanied by three unidentified
men. This information makes the whole case more mysterious—are these three the
same people who are now being searched for? As the investigation
progressed, suspicion grew on Sonam Raghuvanshi. Several contradictory
statements during interrogation, inconsistency in the timeline of events
according to GPS and witnesses. The police claim that it was a
"planned murder", in which Sonam took the help of professional
killers. The reasons behind the murder may have been family disputes, property
or old relations - investigations are ongoing. Raja's family has demanded
that the case be handed over to the CBI. They allege that the local police are
trying to suppress the case. The Chief Ministers of Madhya Pradesh and
Meghalaya have been contacted.Painful statement of Raja's
mother - We had sent our son on honeymoon, he came back as a corpse. We want
justice, no matter how high a court we have to go to for this. If we look at the key points
of the investigation of this sensational case, the picture is slowly becoming
clear. Sonam Raghuvanshi has now emerged as the accused and has also
surrendered. Raja was murdered with a sharp weapon, which makes it a brutal and
planned crime. The investigation has also
revealed that the presence of three suspicious men was seen on the day of the incident,
whose search is still on. Considering the seriousness of the case, the police
have formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT), and an in-depth investigation
of GPS data and forensic evidence is underway. A mother had happily sent off
her son, but within a few days, the news of her son's lifeless body and the
daughter-in-law being accused of murder has devastated her world. This is not
just a case, it is a mother's broken dream, a father's empty eyes, and a
society's unanswered question that can't love be trusted anymore? "We had
sent our son to get married, but his body returned wrapped in grief." Raja's innocent smile, his
hopes for a new life, and those last moments spent with Sonam are now only in
pictures and memories. The family still cannot believe that the daughter-in-law
who was their son's life till yesterday, is accused of murder today. Although, approval for a CBI
inquiry has not been received so far, but the public pressure from the family
and the general public is constantly increasing, which has increased the hope
of handing over this case to the central investigating agency. The last question: Was this a
crime in the name of love, or against love? As the case progresses, more
layers will be revealed. A marriage, a murder and a wife who is now in the dock
– this case in India is shaking the whole country.
