"Sonam Made Raja Wear Rs 10 Lakh Gold For Honeymoon": Murdered Man's Mother
New Delhi: Sonam Raghuvanshi had made all the bookings, including travel and stay, for their honeymoon trip to Meghalaya - but did not book a return ticket, the murdered Indore-based businessman's mother said on Monday. According to Uma Raghuvanshi, Sonam may have also extended their trip to Shillong. However, Sonam did not provide any details of the trip to either of the families. "Sonam booked the tickets for the trip, and she may have extended the trip to Shillong, as my son did not know about the region. Her mother told that they visited Shillong last year," the victim's mother said. Honeymoon murder live updates Officials said that the couple had left for their trip to the Northeastern state wearing all their gold jewellery. While Sonam went to the airport directly from her parents' house, Raja left his house wearing gold jewellery worth more than Rs 10 lakh, which included a diamond ring, a chain, and a bracelet. When Raja's mother questioned him, he told her that Sonam wanted him to wear it. "If Sonam is involved in the murder, then she should be hanged. The police did not even tell in the morning that Sonam had been found. A CBI investigation should take place. If Sonam has not done anything, why would she be accused? Sonam had good behaviour, she used to hug me," Ms Uma said. She also questioned if Sonam had loved her son, why would she leave him to die. "How is she safe? All people behind this should be strictly punished," she said. Raja and Sonam, who got married on May 11, were visiting Cherrapunjee in the East Khasi Hills for their honeymoon when they went missing on May 23. The couple arrived in Nongriat a day earlier and were last spotted checking out of Balaji Homestay. A scooter that they had rented was found abandoned at Sohrarim a day after they went missing. Ten days later, Raja's body was found inside a deep gorge below the Weisawdong Parking Lot at Riat Arliang. A machete suspected to have been used to murder him was also recovered. On Saturday night, officials found Sonam in an unconscious state at a 'dhaba' in Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur. She was taken to the Ghazipur Medical College for treatment, where she surrendered before the police and was subsequently arrested. The police have claimed that the victim's wife had an extramarital affair that allegedly drove her to hire contract killers to eliminate her husband. She orchestrated the murder in connivance with her boyfriend, Raj Kushwaha, and surrendered under pressure, they said. Preliminary investigation also revealed that Sonam used to talk to Raju Kushwaha often. Officials also found CCTVs in which three to four people from Madhya Pradesh were identified - who were the contract killers.

Sonam Raghuvanshi Arrested In Husband's Murder: 'Sonam Gupta Bewafa Hai' Meme Resurfaces
Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. 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.
