Honeymoon murder case: Raja Raghuvanshi's family demands narco test, candle march held for justice
Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India], June 15 (ANI): The murder of Raja Raghuvanshi took a new turn after his family members raised serious questions about the statements given by his wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi and her alleged accomplices. As per Meghalaya Police, Sonam and four others murdered Raja. In response, a candle march was carried out in Indore, demanding justice and a deeper investigation into the case. While speaking to ANI, Raja's brother, Vipin Raghuvanshi, made a strong appeal for a narco test on the accused, stating that their behaviour during the probe raised doubts. 'The way Sonam and Raj are misleading the police is shocking. Once a narco test is done, it will be revealed how much Sonam is lying about it. How all the accused are lying indicates that they may know more about the murder... I cannot talk to Sonam's parents yet. Why haven't they made any statements through the media? For instance, Raj claims Sonam has been typing Rakhi to Govind and him for three years. Doesn't her mother know this? Police need to question her parents. Why have you all hidden this from the media and police?' he told ANI. Meanwhile, Raja's brother, Sachin Raghuvanshi, led the candle march in Indore, expressing the family's grief and their firm stand for justice. 'To get justice for Raja, I will go anywhere in the world... This candle march is organised so that Raja's soul may attain peace...' he said. Meghalaya BJP President Rikman G Momin also reacted to the case. He condemned those who tried to defame the state of Meghalaya in the wake of the murder. 'The blame has already been placed on our state, so those who are blaming have to come and apologise to our state. Meghalaya is a safe and tourist-friendly state... Everyone can come to Meghalaya, and we receive everyone as our brothers and sisters. There is no difference; everyone is Indian, and we are Indians. We will work together... I salute the Meghalaya police for cracking this case...' he said. According to Meghalaya Police, Sonam Raghuvanshi and four others were involved in the murder of Raja Raghuvanshi, who had gone missing earlier. Meanwhile, the Meghalaya government has decided to revisit the existing Meghalaya Resident Safety and Security Act (MRSSA) to strengthen the existing legislation to ensure the safety of state residents and tourists. Meghalaya Minister Alexander Laloo Hek told ANI that during the cabinet meeting yesterday a very important decision was taken to revisit the Meghalaya Resident Safety and Security Act (MRSSA) and the tourists coming to Meghalaya have to be registered. He said it has been decided to install CCTV cameras in tourist places in the state.'We have also decided to install CCTV in all tourist places in Meghalaya as well as in hotels, homestays, lodges', he added. When asked about Raja Raghuvanshi and Sonam Raghuvanshi hiring a Scooty from an illegal agency in Shillong, the minister said, 'For now, we don't know whether it's illegal or not, but it is being said that they have hired the Scooty from Shillong only.' Earlier on Friday, Meghalaya Tourism Minister Paul Lyngdoh praised the state police for their 'efficient' investigation into the sensational Raja Raghuvanshi murder case, which led to the arrest of five accused, including the victim's wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi.

Chhattisgarh HC orders Rs 2 lakh compensation for custodial death in Korba, blames state for negligence
Chhattisgarh HC RAIPUR: The Chhattisgarh High Court has directed the State to pay a compensation of Rs 2 lakh to the mother of a 27-year-old man, Suresh Haththel, who died in police custody in Korba. The court observed that the death was caused by negligence on the part of state employees. The court stated that the State is responsible for the tortious acts of its employees and that compensation in such cases serves as "exemplary damages" against the wrongdoer for breach of public duty. A division bench of Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha and Justice Bibhu Datta Guru passed the order, on a writ petition filed by Prema Haththel, the deceased's mother. The petitioner had sought an independent investigation, including by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), into the custodial death of her son, a copy of the post-mortem report and CCTV footage, and monetary compensation. The court noted that while the judicial inquiry report stated the cause of death as myocardial infection due to coronary artery disease, the post-mortem report revealed several injuries on the deceased's body. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo These included an abrasion on the forehead, an abrasion on the left forearm, multiple abrasions on the left knee with an underlying subcutaneous haemorrhage and a comminuted fracture of the patellar bone, and a penetrating lacerated wound on the left leg. The petitioner's counsel, Anshul Tiwari, argued that the State's claim of injuries sustained from a "fall on the railway line" was implausible and unsupported by evidence. He stated that the injuries were consistent with blunt force trauma. He also highlighted that crucial CCTV footage from the police station after 2:47 am on the night of the incident was missing, with the State's claim of a "power cut" being unsubstantiated. Deputy Advocate General Shashank Thakur, representing the State, submitted that the injuries found on the deceased's body were on the leg and knee and were not sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course. He also said the deceased was a habitual alcohol consumer, which led to myocardial infection and ultimately death. Citing various Supreme Court judgments on custodial deaths and compensation, including Saheli v. Commr. of Police and Nilabati Behera v. State of Orissa, the High Court emphasised that monetary compensation should be awarded for established infringement of fundamental rights under Article 21 (right to life) of the Constitution. The bench directed the Secretary, Home and Police Affairs, Government of Chhattisgarh, or the Director General of Police, Chhattisgarh, to ensure payment of the Rs 2 lakh compensation to Prema Haththel within eight weeks from the date of the order. Failure to comply will result in an annual interest rate of 9% on the amount from the order date. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
