In a shocking twist, Sonam Raghuvanshi, the wife of Indore businessman Raja Raghuvanshi whose body was found deep in a gorge in Meghalaya, has been arrested for his murder. The couple had gone missing days after arriving in the state for their honeymoon.
According to the police, Raja Raghuvanshi's wife planned the murder with her boyfriend Raj Kushwaha, and hired contract killers to eliminate her husband. Raj Kushwaha was also arrested, along with two others.
According to Raja Raghuvanshi's brother, Raj Kushwaha was Sonam's employee and the two would speak on the phone for long hours.
Here's what we know so far about this case:
Raja Raghuvanshi and his bride Sonam left for their honeymoon to Meghalaya on May 20, right after their wedding.
They were reported missing on May 23 and a scooter they had rented was found abandoned at Sohrarim.
10 days later (June 2), Raja Raghuvanshi's body was found in a gorge. There was no sign of his wife Sonam.
On June 7, police confirmed three arrests in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
Last evening, Sonam was found at a dhaba in Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur and was taken away by policemen.
Uttar Pradesh police claimed they found Sonam distraught and unwell at a dhaba in Nandganj, while Meghalaya cops asserted she "voluntarily surrendered" at the police station.
Sonam's family has come out in her support and has outright denied that she could murder her husband.
Raja Raghuvanshi's family has demanded justice. Raja's brother, Sachin, said that Sonam being found alive raised many questions.
