Suspicion Grows in Meghalaya Honeymoon Murder Case Following Viral Video
Developments in the Meghalaya Honeymoon Murder Case
Meghalaya Honeymoon Murder Case: Recent developments in the Meghalaya Honeymoon murder investigation have led to a viral video circulating on social media. This video allegedly features Raj Kushwaha, one of the suspects, at the funeral of Raja Raghuvanshi. In the footage, he is seen interacting with Sonam's father, raising new questions about whether the family was aware of their supposed relationship. His attendance at the funeral has intensified scrutiny regarding his connection to Sonam and the murder case. Authorities are still working to identify the mastermind behind the crime and clarify the motives for the killing. On Monday, the Shillong Police secured a seven-day transit remand for three suspects from a Madhya Pradesh court related to the Raja Raghuvanshi murder investigation.
Raja’s Mother Comments on Raj Kushwaha
As the video gained traction online, Raja’s mother, Uma Raghuvanshi, confirmed that several individuals reported seeing Raj with Sonam’s father at her son’s funeral. Reports indicate that Kushwaha was driving a vehicle and assisting Raja’s family after the body arrived at their home in Indore.
Previously, in an interview, she expressed that if Sonam is found guilty, she should face severe consequences. Uma described Sonam as having always treated her kindly, often embracing her during their encounters.
“The police didn’t inform us this morning that Sonam had been located. A CBI inquiry is necessary. If Sonam is innocent, why is she being accused? She was always polite and affectionate towards me,” stated Uma Raghuvanshi.
When questioned about Raj Kushwaha, she claimed to have no knowledge of him but suggested that Sonam’s parents might be familiar with him. “I was unaware of Raj Kushwaha; perhaps Sonam’s parents know him. Our children never conceal anything from us and would never harm anyone,” she remarked.
She also shared her concerns when Raja wore his gold chain to Meghalaya, fearing it might lead to trouble. “I worried he could get into a difficult situation because of the chain,” added Uma Raghuvanshi.
In the latest updates, the Meghalaya Police have successfully obtained the transit remand for the three suspects.
Public Reaction on Social Media
Sonam Raghuvanshi's father did not know Raj Kushwaha, so how did he come with him to Raja Raghuvanshi's funeral??? The whole family is a liar,
Her father is acting smart on television… He should also be put behind bars along with his daughter…
