Recently, a sensational murder of Indore-based businessman Raja Raghuvanshi rocked the neighbouring state of Meghalaya in the Northeast.

Raja Raghuvanshi, who married Sonam Raghuvanshi on May 11, went missing on May 23 during their honeymoon in Meghalaya. His mutilated body was found in a deep gorge in Sohra area of East Khasi Hills district on June 2.

A Meghalaya court on July 2 remanded three persons to judicial custody in connection with the murder.

The three were arrested from Madhya Pradesh on the charge of concealing evidence in the murder. On June 26, they were remanded to police custody.

In the course of investigation and coverage of the case, the brother of Sonam Raghuvanshi, one of the prime accused in the murder of Raja Raghuvanshi, called for strict action against her. (ANI)
