'Sensed Danger': Raja's Mother Says Sonam Asked Him To Wear Rs 10 Lakh Gold For Honeymoon
Last Updated: Indore businessman Raja Raghuvanshi's mother said his wife Sonam Raghuvanshi planned the trip to Meghalaya for their honeymoon, but did not book the return ticket The mother of Indore-based businessman Raja Raghuvanshi, who was murdered in Meghalaya, on Monday claimed that his wife Sonam Raghuvanshi asked him to wear gold jewellery worth more than Rs 10 lakh on their honeymoon trip. Raja Raghuvanshi was allegedly killed by men, hired by his wife Sonam, during their honeymoon in Meghalaya, police said. Raja's mother Uma Raghuvanshi said Sonam planned the trip to the northeastern state, but did not book the return ticket. She said the couple had an arranged marriage and her behaviour was good with their family, so they never doubted her. According to officials, the couple left for their honeymoon trip wearing all their gold jewellery. Raja was reportedly wearing gold, including a diamond ring, a chain, and a bracelet, worth more than Rs 10 lakh. Uma said when Raja told her about wearing a chain, she sensed danger. 'I asked Raja why he is wearing the chain, he said Sonam asked him so. I sensed danger. There might be some planning…Her behaviour was good; I cannot believe how she did something like this," she told news agency ANI. Meghalaya DGP I Nongrang told PTI that Sonam surrendered before the Nandganj police station in Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur, while three other accused were arrested in overnight raids. Of the three arrested men, two are from Indore and one from Lalitpur in UP, the officer said. One more person was arrested from MP's Sagar district, said East Khasi Hills SP Vivek Syiem. After their marriage on May 11, Raja and Sonam left for Meghalaya on May 20. They went missing while vacationing in Sohra area in East Khasi Hills district on May 23. Raja's body was found in a gorge on June 2. Uma Raghuvanshi said she was shocked to see Sonam's latest picture because there was not even a scratch mark on her. She said if her daughter-in-law got her son killed, then she should be hanged. 'I tell my son's photo that whoever did wrong to him should be punished. I want to hear from Sonam, where, why and in what condition she left Raja. If Sonam is involved, she should be hanged…I want the three men caught to be interrogated," she said. The mother further claimed that after the couple's engagement, Sonam did not spend enough time with Raja and avoided going out with him before marriage. 'When we had asked Sonam about this, she said she has a lot of work to do in the office. Sonam said if she is not able to call my son, then my son can also call her," she said. 'Sonam's mother had told me that her family is very strict against a man and a woman meeting before marriage and Sonam's father does not like such meetings." She said Raja and Sonam's wedding was held in a traditional way with the consent of the couple and both the families. 'My son was very happy after the marriage. He wanted Sonam as his wife from the bottom of his heart. We still cannot believe that she could get her husband killed. It would have been better if my son had remained unmarried as it could have saved his life," she said. First Published: June 09, 2025, 19:48 IST

Delhi court grants bail to youth held in attempt to murder case
'On going through the CCTV footage, I am of the opinion that the same does not prima facie support the chain of events as described in the FIR,' the court said. Additional Sessions Judge Saurabh Kulshreshtha referred to a CCTV footage, relied upon by Delhi Police to support its claims against 20-year-old Krish Arora. New Delhi, Jun 9 (PTI) A Delhi court has granted bail to a youth held in an attempt to murder case observing he was no longer required for investigation. The CCTV footage, the June 6 order noted, did not show that the complainant's car parked behind the white sedan of the accused whereas it showed the complainant arguing with the co-passenger of the white sedan when the accused returned from a shop. Arora was booked by Ranjit Nagar Police Station on charges of causing grievous hurt and attempt to murder. During the intervening night of May 25-26 May, complainant Tarun Kumar and his friends got into a heated altercation over honking with Arora, who allegedly rammed his car into Kumar and escaped from the spot. The court observed the submissions of Arora's counsel Prashant Diwan who disputed the chain of events in the FIR, and argued his client was 'consciously engaged' by the complainant in a scuffle, and he had only exercised his right of self-defence. Arora's conduct, prima facie, did not appear aggressive the CCTV footage showed Arora trying to escape the scene by reversing his car, the court said. This, the judge observed, was explained by his counsel as leaving the spot to protect himself from Kumar and his associates. 'The CCTV footage further shows that the complainant and his associates charged towards the car of the accused in the middle of the road and purportedly tried to stop the accused. When the accused was trying to escape from the spot, the complainant landed on the bonnet of the accused's car,' the judge said. The court observed there was neither CCTV footage to establish Kumar was dragged for a considerable distance, nor did the prosecution explain why Kumar was stopping Arora when the accused did not cause any accident or assault the complainant. 'All these issues will have to be considered during the trial. Whether the incident took place in the purported exercise of the right of self-defence by the applicant accused, or it was a rash and negligent act, or simply an accident which occurred because the accused was trying to escape from the spot, will again be considered during the trial,' the judge said. The accused was observed to have been in custody since May 25 and found to be a 'young boy' who had no criminal history. 'The applicant or accused Krish Arora is ordered to be admitted to regular bail on furnishing a bail bond of Rs 30,000 with one surety in the like amount,' the court held.

Maharashtra train mishap: Will raise issue in Committee on Railways meet, seek audit, says Kolhe
'As a member of the Committee on Railways, I will raise the issue of today's accident as well as disproportionate local services compared to the number of daily commuters in the upcoming meeting and seek an audit. The recommendations of the meetings are submitted to the railway ministry and it has to take it seriously. I will try to discuss it with the the Railway minister as well,' he told a Marathi news channel. His statement comes against the backdrop of the deaths of four passengers in a train mishap at Mumbra railway station in Thane district this morning. Mumbai, Jun 9 (PTI) NCP (SP) Lok Sabha MP Amol Kolhe on Monday said he would raise the issue of Mumbai suburban train accidents at the upcoming meeting of the Committee on Railways, of which he is a member. The MP from Shirur in Pune, speaking about the high rate of passenger fatalities on Central Railway, said it seems that passenger safety is not a priority, which is very unfortunate. 'A comprehensive passenger mobility plan is under discussion, yet many commuters feel compelled to travel under unsafe conditions due to a lack of adequate train services. I will ensure this issue is brought to the forefront during our committee meeting,' Kolhe said. Kolhe said the incident this morning must be thoroughly probed, adding that if on an average 7-11 passengers are involved in mishaps daily, then the entire service must be audited. 'This is utterly unacceptable. The system is failing and requires immediate attention,' he said. PTI ND BNM This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
