Sonam Raghuvanshi, 24, was arrested in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, linked to her husband's murder.
Police allege she orchestrated the murder by hiring contract killers to eliminate Raja Raghuvanshi.
An old meme, "Sonam Gupta Bewafa Hai," has resurfaced in connection with the murder case.
Sonam Raghuvanshi, 24, the missing wife of murdered Indore man Raja Raghuvanshi, 29, has been arrested in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, with the police claiming that she allegedly orchestrated the entire incident by hiring contract killers. Officials said they found Sonam in an unconscious state on Saturday night at a 'dhaba'. She was taken to the Ghazipur Medical College for treatment, where she surrendered before the police and was subsequently arrested.
In the aftermath of Sonam's arrest, an old internet meme trend has resurfaced, with social media users making the connection. The phrase Sonam Gupta Bewafa Hai, translating to 'Sonam Gupta is unfaithful', first surfaced in August 2016 when a photo of a Rs 10 note with the said phrase written on it went viral on social media.
The note, believed to have been written by a jilted lover, was shared far and wide on social media, with others emulating it as well, leading to authorities issuing guidance to not soil the currency notes.
The identity of both the original spurned partner and the now infamous Sonam Gupta remain a mystery, with many believing she may not even exist. While the trend died, as is the case with most viral items, it caught life yet again when the Indian government announced demonetisation in November of the same year.
Nine years later, the trend has picked up pace, but this time, it is related to a grisly murder case where the accused, Sonam, may have plotted to kill her husband.
"Whosoever wrote this long ago was a visionary. Sonam has proved that she is bewafa. In the #Indorecouple case, Sonam Raghuwanshi has hired killers to get rid of his own husband," wrote one user, while another added: "Now I know why Sonam Bewafa hai was a meme a few years ago!!!"
A third commented: "I thought of this angle. Had a feeling that Sonam bewafa hai."
Whosoever wrote this long ago was a visionary.
Sonam has proved that she is bewafa. In the #Indorecouple case Sonam Raghuwanshi has hired killers to get rid of his own husband.
All those people trying to get their son and daughter married please do complete kyc first.

Exalogic case: CM Pinarayi Vijayan files affidavit in Kerala high court opposing CBI probe
Kochi: Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan has filed a counter-affidavit before high court opposing the public interest litigation (PIL) seeking a CBI probe into the controversial Exalogic-CMRL transaction, terming it a 'politically instigated litigation'. In his affidavit, he denied all allegations, including the claim that Exalogic Solutions, a now-defunct company owned by his daughter T Veena, is his 'benami company,' and that he received illegal gratification from CMRL. The PIL filed by senior journalist M R Ajayan alleged that Exalogic received Rs 1.72 crore from Cochin Minerals and Rutile Ltd (CMRL) as illegal gratification. He also sought an investigation into the alleged political nexus involving the CM and the companies concerned. During the last hearing, the court had directed the respondents, including the CM, to file their counter-affidavits. The matter is posted for further consideration on June 17. In his 19-page affidavit, Vijayan submitted that the petitioner had failed to produce any material to substantiate the allegations, terming the PIL a "textbook case of a fishing expedition", an attempt to prompt a roving inquiry without foundational facts. He contended that the prayer for a CBI probe was devoid of genuine public interest and was instead driven by personal and political motives, targeting him and his daughter based on a single private commercial arrangement. Vijayan stated that, as per his understanding, Exalogic was engaged to provide software and marketing consultancy services to CMRL under a legitimate agreement, and that all transactions were duly accounted for through banking channels. He disclaimed any knowledge of or involvement in his daughter's business affairs, stating that she acted independently. He also denied the allegation that he was the 'kingpin' in the transfer of Kovalam Palace to a private businessman, asserting that he had exercised no undue influence in the matter. He pointed out that he assumed office well after the transfer took place. Further, he submitted that the petitioner had neither alleged any bias or collusion on the part of the vigilance and anti-corruption bureau (VACB) nor challenged the decision of the vigilance court, which declined to direct registration of an FIR in the case. Vijayan also contended that the petitioner had failed to implead the state govt as a respondent and that entertaining a petition in the absence of any evidence of bias or inaction would undermine the constitutional framework of federalism. Additionally, he submitted that an investigation by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) is already in progress, and therefore, parallel investigations by other agencies into the same allegation cannot be undertaken.

Encroachments along Bindal river to be cleared by June 30: U'khand govt to HC
Dehradun: Uttarakhand govt on Monday informed the high court that all encroachments along the Bindal river in Dehradun will be removed by June 30, with two illegal structures already cleared by the administration during initial action. The court, hearing three public interest litigations related to threats to rivers, water streams, and the environment, listed the matter for further hearing after four weeks. A division bench of Chief Justice G Narendar and Justice Alok Mahra held a joint hearing on three PILs filed by Dehradun residents Ajay Narayan Sharma, Renu Pal, and Urmila Thapar. The petitions raised concerns over environmental degradation due to unauthorised construction on submerged land in Sahastradhara and encroachments on natural drains and slopes in Rishikesh, including the Bindal and Rispana rivers. The court had earlier ordered the state govt to remove encroachments from rivers, streams and water channels, and to install CCTV cameras at these sites, directing that these areas be managed like accident-prone zones on roadways. The court also asked the director general of police to ensure SHOs of relevant areas register cases against encroachers and submit reports. In an affidavit submitted to the court, govt said 29.5 hectares of the total 35.7 hectares identified within Dehradun municipal limits of encroachments had been removed and the remaining 6.2 hectares would be cleared by June 30. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo A dedicated committee is overseeing the removal work. The bench instructed the secretary of urban development to issue a public message cautioning citizens against encroachments, dumping of debris, and illegal mining in rivers and streams ahead of the monsoon season to prevent accidents. "This warning must go out urgently before the rains," the court said. Environmental groups have long pointed out that unchecked settlement and construction along the Bindal and Rispana riverbanks have severely reduced the rivers' natural flow and polluted them into near-sewage channels. A 2022 report found that the average width of the Rispana had shrunk from 319 metres in 1968 to just 68 metres. The National Green Tribunal had earlier fined local officials Rs 1 lakh each, citing "administrative negligence" in failing to prevent encroachments along water bodies. In April, the high court reinforced orders for installing CCTV and managing river zones with the same urgency as road accident-prone areas. Meanwhile, activists associated with Chetna Andolan said that under the guise of complying with the court's orders, poor residents were being evicted and rendered homeless. "No action is being taken against hotels and restaurants built on riverbanks, but poor families are being targeted first," one activist said. On May 30, dozens of daily wage workers and activists protested elevated road projects and demolitions, accusing the govt of sparing commercial buildings while evicting vulnerable households. In response, the Dehradun district administration asked municipal bodies to identify affected families for rehabilitation under schemes like Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
