Shillong (Meghalaya) [India], June 11 (HBTV): Sonam Raghuvanshi, the accused in the murder case of her husband Raja Raghuvanshi, was brought to Ganesh Das Hospital for medical examination in Shillong early Wednesday morning.

Sonam is currently in a three-day transit remand with the Meghalaya Police.

This development follows a statement by Meghalaya Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong on Tuesday, confirming that the four accused in the murder case were being transported to Shillong.

‘We have got the transit remand. Most likely, if not tonight, then all of them will be in Shillong tomorrow. The moment they land, we will produce them in the CJM (Chief Judicial Magistrate) court,’ the Deputy CM told ANI.

Sonam Raghuvanshi, the wife of the deceased, along with four others — Akash Rajput, Vishal Singh Chauhan, Raj Singh Kushwaha, and Anand — are accused of murdering Raja Raghuvanshi, who had recently married and was on a honeymoon trip to Meghalaya.

Raja’s body was recovered on June 2 from a gorge at Sohra near Cherrapunji. Sonam Raghuvanshi was later located near a dhaba on the Varanasi-Ghazipur main road.

Deputy CM Tynsong stated that some of the accused have already confessed to the crime, and that Sonam is also ‘fully involved’.

‘All the accused have been arrested from different places — one in Madhya Pradesh, another in UP. An SIT of Meghalaya Police went down to these two places. Some of them have also confessed to the crime. The moment we were able to pick up Sonam, being the prime suspect in the killing, we came to know she is fully involved in this operation during their stay in Meghalaya,’ the Deputy CM said.

Earlier, a bystander identified as Sushil Lakwani attempted to attack one of the accused while he was being escorted by Shillong Police inside Indore Airport.

The incident occurred during the transfer of the accused, leading to 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 to ensure the accused was safely escorted into the airport.(ANI)
