Sonam Raghuwanshi Arrested: Honeymoon Murder Mystery Shocks the Nation

Shillong/Ghazipur, June 9, 2025 – In a chilling twist to what was initially thought to be a tragic disappearance, Sonam Raghuwanshi, a newlywed from Indore, has been arrested in Uttar Pradesh for allegedly orchestrating the murder of her husband, Raja Raghuwanshi, during their honeymoon in Meghalaya.

What began as a romantic getaway to the scenic East Khasi Hills has unraveled into one of the most sensational crime stories of the year. Sonam was previously reported missing alongside her husband in May 2025. However, police investigations have since revealed a pre-meditated murder conspiracy. This conspiracy involved contract killers and multi-state coordination.

The Breakthrough: Police Crack the Case in 7 Days

According to a press release by the Meghalaya Police, the breakthrough came after round-the-clock investigations and coordinated efforts involving local intelligence units, the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and police teams across Meghalaya, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh.

Key developments include:

• 3 contract killers arrested (2 from Indore, 1 from Lalitpur, UP)
• 1 accused still absconding
• Sonam Raghuwanshi surrendered at Nandganj Police Station in Ghazipur, UP
• Husband’s body was recovered from a deep gorge in East Khasi Hills

Sonam is now in the custody of the Uttar Pradesh Police and is being transferred following due legal process for interrogation and formal statements.

Twitter Explodes with Reactions and Allegations

Social media is buzzing with strong reactions. Many users have condemned the act as a cold-blooded betrayal, questioning why someone would get married only to murder their spouse.

One tweet summarized the public sentiment:

“She married him and got him killed during the honeymoon. Poor guy thought he’s starting a new life.”

Family Stands by Sonam, Demands CBI Probe

While police claim the case is cracked, Sonam’s family maintains her innocence. Her father, Devi Singh Raghuwanshi, stated that the wedding had both families’ consent, and he believes his daughter is being falsely implicated.

“She reached Ghazipur on her own. She wasn’t arrested in Meghalaya. We will request the Madhya Pradesh CM and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for a CBI investigation,” said Devi Singh.

Police Say It Was a Planned Murder, Not a Tragic Accident

The Meghalaya Police assert that this was not a random incident, but a meticulously planned crime. According to sources:

• Sonam allegedly hired four contract killers
• The plot was executed during the couple’s trip
• The victim, Raja Raghuwanshi, was pushed or lured into a gorge
• Police suspect personal motives and prior connections with one of the accused

Justice Will Prevail, Says Police

In the official statement, Dr. S.R. Marak (MPS), Asst. Inspector General of Police (A), Meghalaya, reiterated that:

“We respectfully urge the media and public to allow the process of justice to take its course and to refrain from speculation.”

Authorities have promised continued transparency and affirmed that further updates will follow as the investigation proceeds.

The Bigger Picture: Violence Behind Vows

The Sonam Raghuwanshi case has sparked national conversations about forced marriages, mental health, and abuse of trust. While some are demanding stricter laws, others are asking for better support systems for couples facing marital discord.

As the case progresses, the country watches with bated breath — a love story that turned into a nightmare, with questions still lingering about motive, manipulation, and justice.
