Honeymoon Murder: Kangana Ranaut Calls Sonam Raghuvanshi "Dumb", And A Warning
New Delhi:
The death of Raja Raghuvanshi during his honeymoon in Meghalaya has prompted a strong response from BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut, who criticised the accused wife on social media.
Kangana Ranaut posted on her Instagram Stories: "How absurd is this!! Woman can't say no to marriage because she is scared of her own parents but she can plan a cold-blooded murder with supari killers. This has been on my mind since morning but not able to wrap my head around it!!! Uuffff getting a headache now!! She couldn't even divorce or run away with her lover."
She added: "How cruel, heinous and above all absurd and dumb. Dumb people should never be taken lightly. They are the biggest threat to any society... We often laugh at them and think they are harmless but it's not true. Intelligent people may damage others for their own good but remember a dumb person has no idea what they are doing !!! Be aware very aware of dumbness around you."
Raja Raghuvanshi and his wife Sonam went missing on May 23 while on their honeymoon in Meghalaya. The case became a murder investigation when Raja's body was discovered in a gorge near Weisawdong waterfalls on June 2, while Sonam remained missing.
Meghalaya Police suspect Sonam hired killers to murder her husband. Madhya Pradesh Crime Branch officers told The Indian Express that 21-year-old Raj Kushwaha, believed to have conspired with Sonam, planned the murder shortly after the couple's wedding.
Sonam surrendered at Nandganj Police Station in Ghazipur district on Sunday night and was arrested. Kushwaha was apprehended in Indore.
Four additional suspects were arrested from different locations in Madhya Pradesh: Akash Rajput, Vishal Singh Chauhan, Raj Singh Kushwaha and Anand.
Raja's family stated that Sonam organised the Meghalaya honeymoon and requested Rs 9 lakh for arrangements. She also convinced him to bring valuable jewellery despite family objections. Sonam, on the other hand, claims she was kidnapped and drugged.

Ahmedabad Plane Crash: DNA Of 45 Victims Matched, Vijay Rupanis Last Rites In Rajkot Tomorrow
Gujarat Health Minister Rushikesh Patel on Sunday said that the DNA of 45 deceased have been matched with their relatives, and confirmed that the death toll in the Ahmedabad plane crash stands at 274. The London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, carrying 242 passengers and crew, crashed into a residential area near the airport shortly after taking off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport on June 12. "Till now, 45 DNA samples have matched. Around 274 people have lost their lives in the heart-wrenching incident," state's Health Minister said. He also said that the funeral of former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, who was among the victims, will be held with full state honours on Monday. Patel stated, "CM Bhupendra Patel informed Vijay Rupani's family about the DNA samples matching as soon as the information was received... Tomorrow, at 11.30 am, the family will receive Vijay Rupani's mortal remains from the Civil Hospital. The mortal remains will be taken to Rajkot by air and reach there at 2. The funeral will be carried out at 5 pm and the last rites will be completed at 6 pm with state honours." The state Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) unit and the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) team are working to match more DNA samples. According to Director of the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), HP Sanghavi, DNA examination is critically needed to identify the victims of the tragic crash, citing that the extreme heat from the blaze that erupted after the crash had made the traditional method of identification ineffective. Air India on Saturday said that an interim financial assistance package of Rs 25 lakh will be provided to the "families of the deceased and to the survivor" of the tragic crash. In a post on X, the Tata-owned airline stated that the package was in addition to the Rs 1 crore support already announced by Tata Sons. 242 people were on board the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, including 230 passengers and 12 crew members. Of the passengers, 241 died in the crash. The lone survivor, identified as Vishwashkumar Ramesh, a British national of Indian origin, sustained injuries and is undergoing treatment.

Man scams his way onto 100+ flights for free. The movie-like ploy behind it will surprise you
In what sounds like a plot straight out of a Hollywood heist comedy, a Florida man managed to outsmart multiple airline systems and live the high-flying life—without ever earning his wings. Tiron Alexander, 35, has been convicted of wire fraud and unlawfully entering secure airport areas after posing as a flight attendant to bag over 120 free flights across the United States. How He Pulled It Off: A Badge, A Lie, and a Boarding Pass According to a statement from the U.S. Department of Justice , between 2018 and 2024, Alexander repeatedly accessed employee-only booking systems intended for actual flight crew. By falsely claiming to work for seven different airlines, he fabricated around 30 bogus employee badge numbers and hire dates. Using these, he booked at least 34 flights by posing as a crew member—then replicated the scheme across three more airlines, clocking in over 120 free trips in total. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michael C. Shepherd, Zachary A. Keller, and Andres E. Chinchilla led the prosecution, presenting a meticulous trail of fabricated employee data, digital footprints, and fake identities that allowed Alexander to fly under the radar—literally and figuratively. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo — MarioNawfal (@MarioNawfal) 'No Threat, But No Excuse' The Transportation Security Administration's Atlanta Field Office led the investigation. In a statement to CBS News Miami , a TSA spokesperson clarified that while Alexander was able to obtain boarding passes through fraudulent means, he did pass through all standard TSA security checks including ID verification and physical screening. 'TSA remains dedicated to the security of the flying public and will continue to support the prosecution of those who break air travel laws,' the spokesperson added. Despite the elaborate ruse, there was reportedly no evidence that Alexander posed a threat to passenger safety. You Might Also Like: 100% attendance? How a HR manager fooled a tech company of Rs 20 crore From First Class Lies to a Federal Sentence Alexander's luck finally ran out when federal investigators pieced together the scope of his con. His case was brought before a jury, which returned a guilty verdict on all five counts. He now faces sentencing on August 25, where he could be handed a prison term of up to 30 years. Supervisory Air Marshal in Charge Antonio L. Pittman and U.S. Attorney Hayden P. O'Byrne jointly announced the conviction. It marks a significant win for federal authorities who continue to navigate the complex intersection of security, technology, and fraud in modern air travel. While it may have seemed like a dream come true—flying coast to coast without paying a dime—Alexander's scheme has landed him in serious legal trouble. His story now serves as a stark reminder that cutting corners, even sky-high ones, rarely ends well.
