The Raja Raghuvanshi murder case continues to unfold with new developments as authorities delve deeper into the alleged conspiracy. The latest update reveals that Sonam Raghuvanshi, the wife of the deceased and a prime suspect in the case, is not pregnant, according to test results. This confirmation comes after initial uncertainty surrounding her pregnancy status following a medical examination conducted after her arrest.
Sonam Raghuvanshi is accused of orchestrating the murder of her husband, Raja Raghuvanshi, during their honeymoon in Meghalaya. The case gained national attention after Raja's body was discovered in a gorge on June 2, 2025, a week after he was reported missing. The investigation quickly turned towards Sonam, with police alleging that she conspired with her alleged lover, Raj Kushwaha, and hired three contract killers to carry out the crime.
Following the discovery of Raja's body, Sonam disappeared, further fueling suspicion. She was later apprehended in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, and handed over to Meghalaya Police. After her arrest, Sonam underwent a medical examination that included a pregnancy test. Initial reports indicated that the pregnancy test results were unclear, prompting doctors to recommend a follow-up ultrasound. However, subsequent tests have now confirmed that Sonam is not pregnant.
Meanwhile, the investigation into Raja Raghuvanshi's murder has revealed a complex web of deceit and betrayal. Police investigation revealed that Sonam was in constant contact with Raj Kushwaha throughout her honeymoon, sharing her live location with him. Kushwaha, who remained in Indore, allegedly coordinated with the hired killers to track the couple's movements.
The three alleged contract killers, Akash Rajput, Vishal Singh Chauhan, and Anand Kurmi, have confessed to the crime, stating that Sonam was present at the scene and watched as they murdered Raja. The accused revealed that they attacked Raja and subsequently disposed of his body in a gorge. The weapon used in the murder was reportedly purchased near the Guwahati railway station.
Adding a macabre twist to the case, Raj Kushwaha allegedly drove mourners to Raja Raghuvanshi's funeral in Indore. A funeral attendee recognized Kushwaha after seeing his photograph in the media following his arrest.
Sonam's father, Devi Singh, has defended his daughter, claiming her innocence and accusing the police of fabricating stories. Similarly, the families of the accused have denied their involvement in the crime. However, the police maintain that they have sufficient evidence to prove Sonam's involvement in the murder.
All five accused, including Sonam Raghuvanshi, Raj Kushwaha, Akash Rajput, Vishal Singh Chauhan, and Anand Kurmi, are currently in custody. They are being taken to Meghalaya for further investigation and interrogation. The Meghalaya Police have obtained a seven-day transit remand for the accused to facilitate the investigation.
The Raja Raghuvanshi murder case continues to be a subject of intense public interest, with many demanding justice for the victim. The police are working to gather all the necessary evidence to ensure a successful prosecution. As the investigation progresses, more details are expected to emerge, shedding further light on the motive and circumstances surrounding this tragic crime.
