<\/p>\nA Honeymoon That Turned Deadly in Shillong<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What was meant to be a romantic honeymoon in Shillong, India, turned into a chilling homicide investigation after businessman Raja Raghuvanshi was found dead in a remote canyon. His new bride, Sonam Raghuvanshi, who first appeared as a grieving spouse, is now accused of masterminding the crime.<\/p>\n
From Missing Husband to Murder Inquiry<\/p>\n
On May 20, Raja and Sonam arrived in Shillong, a hill station famous for waterfalls, winding roads, and serene valleys. Within days, Raja went missing. Soon after, search teams recovered a decomposed body from a gorge\u2014injuries consistent with a fall or deliberate push from a height. The absence of ID and a missing wedding ring delayed identification, but the victim was later confirmed as Raja.<\/p>\n
The Lover and the Alleged Conspiracy<\/p>\n
Initial suspicion fell on Raj Kushwaha, described as Sonam\u2019s lover. But phone records, digital footprints, and testimony shifted the focus: investigators now allege Sonam orchestrated the murder, using promises of money and romance to draw others into her plot.<\/p>\n
According to police, she enlisted three men\u2014Vishal Singh, Anand Kurmi, and Akash Rajput\u2014with the promise of payment. Their task was simple but deadly: follow Raja, isolate him, and ensure he never returned home.<\/p>\n
