Hours Before Murder, Sonam, Raja Raghuvanshi Seen Trekking In Meghalaya
New Delhi:
Hours before Indore-based businessman Raja Raghuvanshi’s murder, he and his wife,
Sonam (the prime accused), were seen trekking on a steep peak in the lush mountains
of Meghalaya. A video shot by a tourist “accidentally” captured the Raghuvanshis
climbing the hill on May 23 around 9:45 am. Raja was murdered and dumped into a
gorge in the afternoon, the same day, by three killers – hired by Sonam and her lover,
Raj Kushwaha.
The tourist, Dev Singh, posted the video on Instagram in which Sonam was leading the
way up the hill, with Raja following her. She was seen wearing a white t-shirt – which
was found by the Meghalaya police near the crime scene. She was also carrying a
polythene bag, which reportedly had a raincoat inside. This was the same time when
Sonam’s three accomplices were following them.
“Yesterday, I was checking videos and I found a recording of the Indore couple. It was
around 9:45 am when we were going down, and the couple was going up. I think this
was the last recording of the couple, and Sonam was wearing the same white t-shirt,
which was found near Raja. I hope this will also help Meghalaya police in connecting
the dots,” Mr Singh wrote on Instagram.
He added, “Every time I watched Raja in the video, I felt very bad about him. He was
looking normal but unaware of what would be waiting for him.”
