Meghalaya court sends Sonam, aides to eight-day police custody
His sister had "100 per cent" killed her husband, Sonam Raghuvanshi's brother Govind said on Wednesday as the young woman and four men accused in the sensational "honeymoon murder" of 29-year-old Raja Raghuvanshi were sent to eight-day police custody in Shillong.
Convinced of his sister's guilt, Govind Raghuvanshi also said his family had snapped ties with her and vowed to fight a legal battle to get justice for Raja Raghuvanshi's family. Wednesday marks one month to the day Sonam and Raja Raghuvanshi got married. The Indore couple went to Meghalaya for their honeymoon and went missing soon after. A police officer probing the crime said, "Sonam was present when Raja was killed," adding that after the crime she fled.
Raja's blood stained body was found 10 days later in a deep gorge and Sonam was presumed missing till June 9, when she was nabbed from a dhaba hundreds of miles away in Uttar Pradesh.
A court in Shillong sent Sonam and her four aides to eight-day police custody. "Police sought a 10-day remand. The court granted 8 days of police custody," East Khasi Hills district SP Vivek Syiem told PTI.
