How Sonam Raghuvanshi manipulated Raja with marriage consummation promise
Sonam Raghuvanshi, the Indore woman accused of killing her husband during their honeymoon in Meghalaya, allegedly kept the victim, Raja Raghuvanshi, at bay by promising to consummate the marriage only after visiting the Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati. The woman allegedly plotted the murder because she wasn't happy with her marriage to the victim and had an affair with her father's employee, Raj Kushwaha. Complying with her condition, the newlywed couple planned a trip to Guwahati and adjacent Meghalaya for the honeymoon, days after she and her alleged boyfriend had planned his murder and hired at least three killers. "Sonam convinced her husband Raja that they need to make offerings at the Kamakhya Devi Temple before consummating the marriage," a police officer who is a part of the investigation told PTI. Sonam and Raja got married in Indore on May 11 and arrived in Meghalaya via Guwahati in Assam on May 20. They went missing in the East Khasi Hills district, hours after checking out of a homestay at Nongriat village. While Raja's body was found in a gorge near the Weisawdong Falls on June 2, Sonam remained missing until June 9, when she mysteriously surfaced in UP's Ghazipur. The officer said Sonam coerced her husband to take her to the deep jungles of Nongriat with the belief that the hitmen she hired would have a better chance of killing him. "But, since there were too many tourists trekking to Nongriat on May 22 and May 23, they couldn't kill him there," the officer added. "They finally killed him near Weisawdong Falls, and dumped his body into the deep gorge," he added. East Khasi Hills SP Vivek Syiem said the killers arrived in Guwahati on May 21. They procured a machete from outside their hotel in Guwahati and then travelled by road to Shillong. All this while, Sonam remained in touch with her boyfriend Raj, who coordinated with the contract killers. "Sonam was present when Raja was killed," a senior Meghalaya police officer said. "She took a taxi from Mawkdok to Shillong, and then hired a tourist cab to Guwahati before boarding multiple trains to avoid detection. While she claims to have reached Indore directly, this is still being verified," he added. Meanwhile, Sonam's brother, Govind, has said that he is fully convinced that she had killed her husband. He also revealed that Raj Kushwah called her "elder sister", and she would tie a rakhi on Raksha Bandhan.

Dwarka Fire Tragedy: Child Kept Screaming But People Were Busy Filming, Says Eyewitness
Last Updated: One of the eyewitnesses said the fire was massive, ACs were exploding, and despite efforts to save two children, doctors couldn't help A massive fire on the ninth floor of a building in Delhi's Dwarka claimed the lives of three family members, including a young girl and a teenage boy, and trapping 12 family members inside with no escape and no help from the neighbours. The deceased included 40-year-old Yash Yadav who was a flex printing businessman, his 11-year-old daughter Ashima and his nephew. According to a PTI report, they succumbed to multiple fractures resulting from an approximately 80-foot jump, as well as burns sustained in the fire. The heartbreaking sight of the three victims standing on the balcony, with no way out but to jump, left onlookers helpless. Yash's son Aditya, along with his wife and several family members visiting from Uttar Pradesh, narrowly escaped a fire, according to PTI reports. The survivors, including Aditya, Suraj, Uditya, Mamta's sister Madvi, and a few other relatives, were rescued when locals broke open the front door of their flat and rushed to their aid. Police and fire officials reported receiving the fire call around 10:01 am on Tuesday. However, the emergency response teams allegedly arrived an hour later. By the time help reached the scene, three individuals had already jumped from the ninth-floor apartment in a desperate attempt to save themselves. Eyewitnesses were deeply moved, with one recounting, 'There was a massive fire and the AC was also exploding. We tried to save two children, but we couldn't. I took them to the hospital myself, but the doctor said 'sorry'. The little girl kept screaming as people made videos." 'At around 9:40 am, I was nearby buying vegetables when I noticed flames and smoke. Three people were clinging to the balcony, screaming. Despite people urging them not to jump, they had no other choice," an eyewitness recounted to PTI under anonymity. Another local described their helplessness as they watched the tragic event from the street below. 'We could see everything but couldn't do anything. There were no bedsheets, mattresses, or safety nets to save them," he explained. Jitender Singh, a local shopkeeper, mentioned that numerous calls to emergency services were made, but the fire brigade arrived about an hour later. 'If they had come on time, lives could have been saved," he remarked. According to a PTI report, Amit Bhandari, a close friend of Yadav, said the family had returned home from a Bhagwat Katha at his sister's house, about three kilometers away, late Sunday night. 'No one could imagine this would happen," Bhandari expressed. Bhandari also stated that when the fire started, the guards didn't even open the gate. People were screaming, but no one came to assist. Neighbours were busy recording videos instead of helping, he alleged. Police reported that the fire likely began due to a short circuit in the temple area of the house. The exact cause will be determined following a forensic inspection. Despite the family's desperate pleas for help, bystanders were more focused on recording the incident than offering assistance. The fire brigade reportedly took about an hour to arrive, during which the fire spread quickly, filling the flat with dense smoke. The delay in emergency response and the onlookers' lack of action have prompted intense scrutiny and raised questions about the building's safety measures. Yash Yadav, a businessman who started his interior design and kitchen module business during the lockdown in the aftermath of the pandemic, had purchased the flat just two years ago. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he started a small business focused on modular kitchens and interior design. Only two years ago, he moved into this flat, and now everything is lost," Bhandari expressed sorrowfully. According to the PTI report, Yadav's family intends to take the bodies to Etah in Uttar Pradesh, Yash's hometown. Yash's eldest son, Aditya, is currently in his first year of BBA.

ED raids premises linked to Congress MP E Tukaram, 3 MLAs in Karnataka ST corporation scam case
The Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday conducted searches at premises linked to Congress MP from Ballari E Tukaram and three MLAs in Karnataka in a case about alleged irregularities in the state Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation, PTI reported. Five locations in Ballari and three in Bengaluru belonging to Tukaram and the three MLAs – the Congress' Nara Bharath Reddy, JN Ganesh and NT Srinivas – were being searched under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, the news agency quoted unidentified officials as saying. Commenting on the searches, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that the state government would not support any violation of the law nor come in the way of its implementation, PTI reported. 'Let them do whatever they want in accordance with the law…We won't obstruct it,' he said. The case pertains to the alleged misappropriation of funds belonging to the state Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation. The matter came to light in May 2024 after its accounts superintendent, Chandrashekhar, died by suicide. In a note left behind, Chandrasekhar alleged that funds to the tune of Rs 187 crore had been transferred from the corporation's bank account. A Special Investigation Team set up by the Karnataka government is looking into the allegations of misappropriation of funds. The team has arrested 14 persons in the case, including two officials of the corporation – managing director Padmanabha GJ and accounts officer Parashuram Dugganavar, The Indian Express reported. The Enforcement Directorate has also claimed that Rs 20.19 crore of the funds siphoned from the Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation was used to support the Tukaram's campaign from Ballari constituency during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
