The curious case of Honeymoon murder of Indore based Husband in Meghalaya

Sweet and attractive wife Sonam has turned out to be heinous killer

- BY SUSHIL KUTTY

Indore's Raja Raghuvanshi didn't want to honeymoon in Meghalaya. But Indore's Sonam Raghuvanshi was adamant and Meghalaya they went. And Meghalaya is wishing this wasn't how it should have been! Why bring murder to Meghalaya, there was already talk of Meghalaya as a crime-high state?

Now, the wife is in custody. An alleged lover of a previous life, too. The husband's decomposed body was spotted by a drone in a deep gorge in Meghalaya with the wife missing. Only to surface at a dhaba in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh. At 2 am in the wee hours of Sunday. She made a phone call from the mobile of the dhaba owner who called the police even as the woman spoke with her mother in Indore, hundreds of kilometres from where the husband's decomposed body was spotted by the drone sent up to get a bird's eye of the forested and mountainous area where the husband and wife went missing.

Hubby didn’t know he had been set up for murder by his bride of just a couple of weeks.

Such are the travesties of marriage. You never know who the person you are marrying and this happens to both men and women who tie the knot not knowing fully the antecedents of betrothed. In this case there was not even an inkling. The laughing and smiling photographs and videos of Raja Raghuvanshi and Sonam Raghuvanshi didn't point to anything but love, love and more love.

And then they went for their honeymoon! Now, marriages have their pitfalls.... But this one had given a bad name to not just to honeymoons but also to, hold your breath, to honeymoon destinations. Honeymoon destinations can be any place the newly wed choose to be for the first week or two of their marriage.
