"Missing wife of murdered Indore businessman found in Ghazipur; police suspect planned conspiracy behind killing during honeymoon in Meghalaya."
Ghazipur/Shillong | June 9, 2025- In a shocking turn of events, Sonam Raghuvanshi, the wife of murdered Indore businessman Raja Raghuvanshi, has been found in a disoriented state near a roadside eatery in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, after being missing for 17 days. Local police have admitted her to a hospital and begun preliminary questioning.
According to reports, Raja and Sonam had travelled to Shillong, Meghalaya, on May 20 for their honeymoon. On June 2, Raja’s body was recovered from a deep gorge in the Cherrapunji region, bearing signs of fatal injuries. Sonam had been missing since the incident, sparking a massive manhunt and national media attention.
Preliminary investigations by the Meghalaya police suggest a possible conspiracy. Three individuals have already been arrested, allegedly hired by Sonam to kill her husband. The police are now focused on interrogating Sonam to uncover the full story and motive behind the crime.
A local guide’s testimony helped piece together the final hours before Raja’s murder. He reportedly saw the couple with three unknown men near a trekking route in Sohra. Authorities are still searching for a fourth suspect believed to be directly involved in the killing.
Police officials say more details will emerge after Sonam is declared fit for formal interrogation.
