Meghalaya honeymoon murder: Raj Kushwaha drove people to Raja Raghuvanshi's funeral, says eyewitness

Raj Kushwaha, one of the accused arrested for Raja Raghuvanshi's murder in Meghalaya and Sonam Kushwaha's alleged lover, drove a vehicle to transport people to the victim's funeral, said an eyewitness. On Monday, the murder of Indore-based businessman Raja Raghuvanshi took a dramatic turn following a series of arrests. Among those arrested are Raja's wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, who has been accused by the Meghalaya police of orchestrating his murder. One of the people who went to attend Raja Raghuvanshi's funeral, Lakshman Singh Rathore, said Kushwaha, Sonam's alleged boyfriend, had driven the vehicle arranged by her family. "When Raja's body arrived here, Sonam's family, whose home is in Govind Nagar Kharcha area, had arranged four-five vehicles for people to attend the funeral. Kushwaha was driving the four-wheeler in which I went, though we did not talk. Only after seeing his photograph in the media post his arrest, I recollected this episode,' reported PTI.

On May 23, the couple went missing, prompting search operations for both of them. However, on June 2, Raja's body was recovered in a gorge near Weisawdong Falls in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya.

'The first person arrested was Rajput from Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh. The second was Chauhan from Indore, Madhya Pradesh. The third was Kushwaha, also from Indore," East Khasi Hills SP Vivek Syiem said at a press conference in Shillong on Monday. Sonam was arrested from a dhaba in Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur on Monday, where she allegedly attempted to mislead UP police by claiming that she had been brought to Ghazipur after being drugged. She is accused of conspiring with Kushwaha to murder her husband. 'Kushwaha was in contact with the killers for some weeks,' said an Indore police officer, who is aware of the questioning of Raj Kushwaha and Chauhan. The three hired killers, the officer said, left Indore for Meghalaya on May 17 with ₹50,000 and a mobile phone provided by Kushwaha. Once there, they allegedly chose a spot to kill Raghuvanshi and dispose of his body. Sonam's family, however, has denied her involvement in the murder and has asked for a CBI inquiry into the matter.

Indian Judiciary's commitment to justice transcends borders: Justice Kant

Justice Surya Kant NEW DELHI: Justice Surya Kant of Indian Supreme Court on Monday told the Indian business community in Washington that Indian judiciary understood the problems faced by the Indian diaspora and NRIs and played a crucial role in resolving unique challenges faced by them relating to property, inheritance and custody of children in soured matrimonial relations. Speaking with Indian businessmen from various states gathered under the banner of 'Washington Telangana Association', Justice Kant said, 'With procedural adaptations and a growing recognition of cross-border complexities, the courts have made justice more accessible to those living abroad. In certain areas, the judiciary has also extended the protection of Fundamental Rights, ensuring that non-resident citizens are treated with fairness and equality under the law. ' 'In doing so, it reinforces the message that India's commitment to justice does not end at its borders, it reaches all those who continue to carry the country in their hearts,' he added. Commending the resilience of Indian diaspora to maintain their identity while continuing to participate in the technological innovations, research and community service in the countries they have made home while exploring opportunities, Justice Kant said the Indian identity thrives in our languages and festivals, but also in our collective commitment to justice, dignity, and mutual respect. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!

' Commending the role played by the Indian diaspora as ambassadors of India's rich cultural and constitutional legacy by not only preserving it for ourselves but sharing it with the world, the next CJI said, 'In doing so, we honour not only our past, but also our enduring responsibility to shape a future that is united in diversity, grounded in justice, and inspired by the very best of who we are.' 'The success of the Indian diaspora is not only measured in individual achievement - though that alone is remarkable. It is also reflected in the collective identity that communities have preserved and passed on across generations. Whether through temples, cultural centres, schools, or community events, the diaspora has cultivated a sense of belonging and solidarity, making the Indian identity one that thrives far beyond national borders,' he said.
