Sonam Raghuvanshi’s Mysterious Journey: How She Reached Ghazipur After Meghalaya Murder Plot

Indore Murder Case: Sonam Raghuvanshi, a newlywed from Indore, became the center of a chilling criminal case when her husband, Raja Raghuvanshi, was found dead in a gorge near Weisawdong Falls in Meghalaya. The couple had embarked on a honeymoon trip on May 20, 2025, filled with dreams of a new life together. However, the idyllic getaway took a dark turn when the discovery of Raja's body revealed a sinister plot, allegedly orchestrated by Sonam herself.

The Alleged Murder Plot

Investigations suggest Sonam conspired with accomplices to kill her husband during their trip. Authorities believe she hired contract killers, with three suspects arrested in Madhya Pradesh and one still at large. The motive, according to preliminary findings, may involve an extramarital affair, though details remain murky.

Flight to Ghazipur

After Raja’s death, Sonam vanished, sparking a 16-day manhunt across states. On June 8, 2025, she resurfaced at a roadside dhaba in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, far from the crime scene in Meghalaya. In a surprising twist, Sonam contacted her brother via video call from the eatery, revealing her location. The dhaba owner, sensing her distress, alerted the police, leading to her surrender at Nandganj police station. Her journey from the hilly terrains of Meghalaya to a small-town eatery remains shrouded in mystery, raising questions about how she evaded capture for so long.

Family’s Denial and Demands

Sonam’s father, Devi Singh, vehemently denies her involvement, accusing the Meghalaya Police of fabricating the narrative. He has called for a CBI probe, insisting his daughter is innocent. Meanwhile, Raja’s family awaits Sonam’s testimony to clarify the events, skeptical of official claims.

A Case Unraveled

As Sonam awaits transfer to Meghalaya for court proceedings, the case continues to captivate public attention. Her journey from a honeymoon to a murder suspect highlights the complexities of human motives and the ongoing battle for justice.
