What should have been a joyous beginning to a new chapter ended in a chilling tale of death and deception amid the serene hills of Shillong, India. On May 20, businessman Raja Raghuvanshi arrived in the picturesque city with his bride, Sonam Raghuvanshi, ready to start their honeymoon. But just days later, Raja’s lifeless body was discovered in a remote canyon—stripped of his wedding ring, identification, and any trace of mercy.
At first, suspicion fell on Raj Kushwaha, rumored to be Sonam’s secret lover. Yet as investigators dug deeper, a far more sinister truth emerged. Sonam herself was the puppeteer behind this deadly scheme. With false promises of love, she manipulated Raja while orchestrating his murder through three accomplices—Vishal Singh, Anand Kurmi, and Akash Rajput—offering them money to carry out the gruesome deed.
Tracking Raja’s movements with cold precision, Sonam guided the killers to ambush him, likely pushing him into the gorge between May 23 and 24. But the betrayal didn’t end there. After Raja returned to Indore, hopeful to reunite with his wife, he unknowingly walked into another trap—Sonam was entangled with a third man and planned to dispose of him as well.
Crucial phone records ultimately led to Sonam’s arrest, unraveling a chilling conspiracy that shattered what was supposed to be a celebration of love.
