Wife's affair led to murder of Indore man during Meghalaya honeymoon, boyfriend involved: Cops

Jun 9, 2025 ..

Amid the mystery over the Indore man's murder during his honeymoon in Meghalaya, the police have now claimed that his wife had an extramarital affair that allegedly drove her to hire contract killers to eliminate her husband, media reports said.


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.

According to Meghalaya cops, Sonam was in an extramarital affair that led to Raja's murder.

She planned the murder in connivance with her boyfriend, Raj Kushwaha, and surrendered under pressure on June 8, according to the police. Both were later arrested.

Not much is known about Raj Kushwaha from official channels, but the victim's family has broken its silence on this person.

Police said Sonam surrendered in Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur, while three others involved in the murder were arrested during raids.

Sonam's father has claimed his daughter's innocence and accused the Meghalaya Police of foul play.

Her father Devi Singh said as quoted by India Today, "My daughter is innocent. I trust her completely. She cannot do this. They got married with the consent of both families. The Meghalaya government has been lying from the beginning."
