Meghalaya murder: Family of Raja Raghuvanshi perform rituals at crime site
The family members of Indore businessman Raja Raghuvanshi performed rituals at the crime site in Meghalaya, where he was murdered allegedly by his wife Sonam and three other men on May 23, media reports said.
The family members including Raja Raghuvanshi's brother Vipin Raghuvanshi came to the parking lot at Wei Saidong falls in East Khasi Hills, where Raja Raghuvanshi and wife Sonam parked their rented scooter, and proceeded towards the site where he was murdered.
"... The family decided to perform religious rituals at the very site in Meghalaya where Raja was murdered and his body was discovered on June 2," Vipin Raghuvanshi told reporters in the state capital Shillong.
The family reached Shillong on Tuesday. They came to Sohra on Wednesday.
Raja Raghuvanshi's family said they will engage a lawyer in Shillong to file a petition challenging bail granted to the three accused including a property dealer, Silome James.
James along with flat owner Lokendra Tomar and security guard Balvir were charged with tampering evidence.
Raja Raghuvanshi's family said they will also file a petition demanding a narco test on Sonam to find out the real reason why she murdered her husband just days after their wedding.
On May 23, Raja Raghuvanshi, was murdered by contract killers who were hired by his wife, Sonam, during their honeymoon in Meghalaya.
The victim, Raja Raghuvanshi, 29, and his newly married wife, Sonam, 24, had gone missing on May 23.
A week later, Raja's body was recovered from a gorge. A search was conducted for Sonam, who eventually turned up in Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur a week later.
