Meghalaya Honeymoon Murders: As shocking details emerge in the murder case of Raja Raghuvanshi, Meghalaya Police have revealed that the Indore-based transporter was killed on the fourth attempt, after three previously failed plots by the accused, including his wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi and her alleged boyfriend, Raj Kushwaha.

Sonam and Raja were married on May 11 and departed for their honeymoon in Meghalaya on May 20. Raja was reported missing on May 23, prompting a police investigation. Sonam surfaced in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, nearly 1,200 km away from the crime scene, on June 9 and surrendered.

The murder has shocked the nation due to its chilling planning and dramatic developments. 

Earlier, HT reported that five individuals have been arrested—Sonam, Raj Kushwaha, and the three alleged hitmen. 

Five people, including Raja Raghuvanshi's wife Sonam (25) and her alleged lover Kushwaha (20), have been arrested for their alleged involvement in the murder of Raja Raghuvanshi (29) in the north-eastern state last month. All of them are currently in the Meghalaya police's custody and an SIT is probing the case.

Sonam is accused of getting her husband killed during their honeymoon with the help of Kushwaha and three contract killers, a case which has sent shockwaves across the country.
