Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India], June 11 (HBTV): A bystander identified as Sushil Lakwani attempted to attack one of the accused in the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case while the accused was being escorted by Shillong Police inside Indore airport on Tuesday.

The incident occurred during the transfer of the accused, prompting a brief commotion at the scene.

Expressing his anger, Lakwani told reporters, ‘I hit him because I am angry that a resident of Indore was killed. They should be hanged till death. The woman killed the man with full planning.’

Shillong Police quickly intervened and ensured the accused was safely escorted into the airport.

Earlier in the day, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rajesh Dandotiya shared details about the case, stating that four accused have been arrested so far. The arrested individuals are Akash Rajput, Vishal Singh Chauhan, Raj Singh Kushwaha, and Anand.

DCP Dandotiya stated that all four will be taken to Shillong after the completion of transit remand formalities.

‘All four accused are currently in the Indore Police Commissionerate. The Shillong Police interrogated them. The transit remand of the three accused was taken yesterday. Today, the fourth accused has been arrested. Shillong Police will take all four accused with them today after taking transit remand,’ Dandotiya said.

Earlier, the Meghalaya Police had brought the prime accused and the wife of the deceased, Sonam Raghuvanshi, to the Phulwari Sharif police station in Patna, Bihar, after securing a three-day transit remand.

Raja Raghuvanshi was allegedly killed during a honeymoon trip in Meghalaya by contract killers reportedly hired by his wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi.

A senior Uttar Pradesh police official stated that Sonam was found near a dhaba on the Varanasi-Ghazipur main road. She was initially kept at the Sakhi One Stop Centre in Ghazipur before being handed over to Meghalaya Police, who took her for a medical examination at the District Hospital.

Raja Raghuvanshi and his wife Sonam, both residents of Indore in Madhya Pradesh, had gone missing during their honeymoon in Meghalaya. His body was later recovered in the northeastern state.
