Raja Raghuvanshi believed love meant giving- giving laughter, comfort, dreams and devotion. Raja was a man dreaming with open eyes, excited to begin a new chapter of life with Sonam. At their sangeet, he vowed not just with words but with plans for a lifetime, for a shared future, for forever. He was ready to build a home, create memories, and wake up every day making her smile.
Sonam too had plans, but not for their future, for Raja’s funeral.
On a moonlit night during their sangeet ceremony, Raja Raghuvanshi stood with eyes gleaming and a heart overflowing with dreams. In front of friends and family, he made promises that melted hearts.
He promised, “I will learn to make tea for her every morning. I will take her on a world tour every year and will take her to shopping every month.”
But what he did not know was that the woman smiling beside him holding her hand was already writing the end of his story.
The vows Raja Raghuvanshi made have come to light after a video from their sangeet ceremony went viral on social media.
Raja, a gentle soul from Indore, Madhya Pradesh got married to Sonam Raghuvanshi on May 11 and came to Meghalaya with Sonam for their honeymoon on May 22.
While, Raja brought dreams, trust, and a thousand plans for the life ahead. Sonam brought betrayal, secrets, and the company of killers.
The promises made under fairy lights turned into cruel irony. 13 days after their wedding, Raja was murdered, not by a stranger, but by the very woman he had vowed to protect and cherish.
The murder case of Raja Raghuvanshi is being investigated by the Meghalaya Police. All the accused-Vishal Chauhan, Akash Rajput, Anand Kurme and Raja’s wife Sonam Raghuvanshi and her alleged lover Raj kushwaha are currently in the custody of Meghalaya Police. Earlier Meghalaya Police has secured 8 day remand of them. After continously interogating the accused, police yesterday recreated the crime scene.
East Khasi Hills SP Vivek Syiem said, “Raja was taken completely by surprise when they attacked him. Sonam was standing in front of Raja. Vishal was standing to his right, Akash was behind him slightly to the left, and Anand was standing to his left. There were three blows, the first by Vishal, the second by Anand and the last blow by Akash. When the first hit was given blood came out and Raja fell down, Sonam ran off the spot because Raja was screaming. Later the body was thrown by the 3.”
He said, “At the parking lot where they had kept their two-wheelers, Sonam had given the 3 accused the signal that they should finish the job today.”
The SP said that this whole thing was played out and the police have got a very clear picture now.
Today is the last day of the 8 days remand of the accused. They will be produced before the court tomorrow in Shillong and police will seek additional custody of them.
