Sonam Raghuvanshi and her husband Raja, newlyweds from Indore, disappeared on May 23 during their honeymoon in Meghalaya’s Cherrapunji. On June 2, Raja’s decomposed body—strangled with throat slit and stripped of ₹10 lakhs in gold jewelry—was recovered from a gorge . The Meghalaya Police allege Sonam hired four hitmen, including her alleged lover Raj Kushwaha, to kill Raja . On June 9, she surfaced at a Dhaba in Ghazipur, either having surrendered or claiming abduction, her family insists she’s a victim, not a suspect, and has demanded a CBI probe . Four accused, including Sonam, are in custody; the hunt continues for a fifth. Authorities vow to present Sonam in Shillong for further interrogation. (PC: PTI)
