A shocking detail in the Meghalaya honeymoon murder case has come to light. According to this, police have revealed that the accused, including his wife Sonam Raghuvanshi, had tried to kill Raja thrice before but failed each time. Raja was allegedly murdered by his wife, Sonam, and her lover Raj Kushwaha, who hired three professional killers. The crime was committed when Sonam and Raja were on their honeymoon in Meghalaya after their marriage.
“Raja Raghuvanshi’s murder was successful in the fourth attempt,” Superintendent of Police Vivek Syiem told a press conference. According to police, the first attempt was made in Guwahati, followed by two more attempts in Sohra, but all of them failed. He was finally killed at Visadong waterfall, as reported by NDTV.
As quoted by NDTV, SP Vivek also mentioned, “They wanted to get rid of him in different places earlier. They also wanted to get rid of Raja’s body somewhere in Guwahati, but it did not materialise. They wanted to eliminate him in Nongriat but they did not find a place to dispose the body, they wanted to do it between Mawlakhiat and Weisawdong when Raja went to the washroom. But it didn’t fructify. They finally did it in Weisawdong,”
He also mentioned, “Sonam and Raja reached Guwahati to visit Kamakhya after marriage. The killers had already reached on 19 May. Their initial plan was to kill Raja in Guwahati, but Sonam had planned to go to Shillong and Sohra. Therefore, this plan was shelved,”
