Rejected guide, desperate phone call: How Meghalaya honeymoon murder case was cracked
Sonam Raghuvanshi and three men were arrested for allegedly murdering her husband, Raja Raghuvanshi, during their honeymoon in Meghalaya. The 24-year-old woman who was missing since last month was found at a dhaba near Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur, ending weeks of search and mystery. But how did police find Sonam, now an accused in the case? read more Indore couple missing in Meghalaya: Sonam Raghuvanshi — wife of the deceased Raja Raghuvanshi — along with three men accused of being contract killers hired to murder her husband during their honeymoon. Image courtesy: X The mystery surrounding the missing Indore couple in Meghalaya has finally been solved. In a major breakthrough, police on Monday confirmed the arrest of Sonam Raghuvanshi — wife of the deceased Raja Raghuvanshi — along with three men accused of being contract killers hired to murder her husband during their honeymoon. Over the last couple of weeks, the case had captured national headlines, with police launching an extensive search operation to find the missing woman. After Raja was found brutally murdered in a gorge in the Sohra region, her family suspected that the couple might have been robbed or kidnapped. But now, the case has unravelled as a cold and calculated murder plot. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD But how did the police crack the case? Here's what we know When a rejected local guide became a key witness On the day Sonam and Raja went missing, the couple was trekking through a forested trail, reportedly on their way to Meghalaya's famed double-decker living root bridges in Sohra. On their way, Albert Pde, a local guide in the Nongriat village, had offered his services to newlyweds. The couple declined, choosing another guide. However, what was odd was that Pde saw them again the next day—this time, accompanied by three unknown men, climbing the 3,000 steps back to Mawlakhiat. The search for Sonam Raghuvanshi continues, nearly two weeks after she and her husband went missing in Meghalaya. Image: News18 'I saw the couple with three men on the way up. The men were walking ahead, and the woman was behind them. They were speaking in Hindi,' Albert later told the police. His statement would become central to the investigation, helping police track the suspects. Earlier, an audio clip believed to be the couple's last contact with their family before vanishing also surfaced. In the recording, accessed by India Today, Sonam was heard interacting with her mother-in-law. Sonam describes the tough terrain they were navigating. 'We're in a dense forest, nothing is available here. The climb is steep. I had told him (Raja) not to go, but he never listens. I'm exhausted. The food here isn't good either. It's hard to breathe while walking,' she says in the clip. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD That phone call turned out to be the last time anyone heard from them. Eleven days after they disappeared, a police drone located Raja's decomposed body at the bottom of a gorge near Wei Sawdong Falls. Police then launched a major search operation , with more than 50 to 60 people looking for Sonam, who was still missing. 'Sonam came crying, asked for phone' The search for Sonam came to an unexpected end — not in the forests of Meghalaya, but over 1,000 kilometres away in Uttar Pradesh. She was found near a roadside dhaba in Nandganj, around 40 km from Varanasi. According to the dhaba owner, Sahil Yadav, Sonam looked distraught and asked to use his mobile phone to call home. 'It is a matter of around 1 am last night, when she came to the shop and was crying. She said that she had to call home. I gave her my mobile phone and she dialled. I asked her to sit there,' Sahil told the media, pointing to a chair nearby. #WATCH | Sahil Yadav, owner of Kashi Dhaba, where UP Police found Sonam Raghuvanshi late last night, says "Sonam came here around 1 AM. She wanted my phone to call her family members, and I gave it to her. She started crying when she called her family.

I have the number of her family on my phone.' Sonam was taken to Sadar Hospital for a check-up and later shifted to a One Stop Centre for women in distress. The first photo of Sonam since her disappearance surfaced on Monday, showing her wearing a black T-shirt and track pants. According to Uttar Pradesh Police, she looked 'distraught with fever.' UP Director General of Police Rajiv Krishna said Sonam would be handed over to the Indore Police once they arrive in Ghazipur. He clarified that UP Police would not question her. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Meghalaya Police claims 'contract killing' Meanwhile, the story took a dramatic turn with Meghalaya Police accusing Sonam of planning her husband's murder. 'The arrested men have revealed that the wife had hired them to kill Raghuvanshi,' said Meghalaya's Director General of Police, I Nongrang. Sources told CNN-News18 that Raj Kushwaha, who is said to have been in a relationship with Sonam Raghuvanshi, is believed to be the 'mastermind' behind Raja Raghuvanshi's murder. Sources added that the possible reason for the killing was Sonam's relationship with Raj Kushwaha, whom she had known before she got married. They also said Sonam may have booked the honeymoon trip as part of the plan to have her husband killed. Inspector General Dalton P Marak added that Sonam surrendered under pressure and would be brought back to Meghalaya. They said that while three have been arrested, one of the accused is still absconding. Earlier, Meghalaya CM Conrad K Sangma praised the police for making swift progress.

Sonam's family claims innocence, demands CBI inquiry Back in Indore, Sonam's family is standing by her and demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the case. Her father, Devi Singh, rejected all allegations and accused the police of spinning a false narrative. 'My daughter reached the roadside eatery, and she was crying and called from there. It was from the dhaba that the police picked her up. I haven't spoken to my daughter yet,' he told PTI. 'The police are lying,' he claimed. 'Why would my daughter do something like this?

Bengaluru Stampede: Congress High Command Summons Siddaramaiah, DK Shivakumar To Delhi
Last Updated: The Congress high command has called Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar to Delhi, in connection with the Bengaluru stampede case. Days after a stampede near Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy Stadium killed 11 people, the Congress high command has summoned Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar to Delhi. Sources with the Congress party told CNN-News18 that Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar were asked to meet Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday morning. DK Shivakumar is already in the national capital for a government program, and is likely to extend his stay to meet Gandhi. The Chief Minister, meanwhile, is likely to fly to Delhi on Tuesday morning. On Sunday, Siddaramaiah had expressed grief over the stampede, saying the incident should not have happened. He also clarified that he 'didn't have any connection with the cricket stadium". Addressing reporters in Mysuru on Sunday, Siddaramaiah said, 'This incident shouldn't have happened, it happened at the Cricket stadium. I don't have any connection with the cricket stadium." Asked about the allegation that the then Bengaluru Police commissioner B Dayananda was made a scapegoat, he said, the Commissioner alone has not been suspended, five officers have been suspended, and the intelligence chief has been changed. 'My political secretary, K Govindara,j has been removed. We have taken a series of actions, not the police commissioner alone," he added. The stampede happened on June 4 in front of the Chinnaswamy Stadium, where a large number of people thronged to participate in the RCB team's IPL victory celebrations. The Opposition has been demanding the resignation of the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister over the matter.
