Three Attacked Raja Raghuvanshi With Two Machetes
Raja Raghuvanshi was murdered during his honeymoon in Meghalaya. He was attacked by three men, who were friends of his wife’s supposed lover. As reported by NDTV, police stated that not just one but two large knives were involved in the murder. The Meghalaya Police recently reenacted the crime. This took place near the Wei Sawdong falls in the East Khasi Hills district, where Raja died. On Tuesday, all the accused, including Sonam, Raj, and the three friends, were taken by a special police team to places the couple had visited.
Vivek Syiem, the Superintendent of Police for East Khasi Hills, explained the reenactment of the crime. The event was recreated at the same time of day it occurred. The reenactment took place at the viewpoint where the murder happened, allowing authorities to determine the positions of each individual involved and how they attacked Raja. Syiem also stated that the perpetrators used two separate large knives, one of which is still missing as authorities continue their search.
The police found that a white shirt worn by Akash, one of the accused, was thrown into the same gorge where Raja’s body was dumped. Syiem stated that Sonam had already confessed to the crime. During the reenactment of the crime scene, authorities clarified where Sonam stood and her role in the incident. The reenactment made everything clear, confirming that three people killed Raja while Sonam was present at the scene. Sonam destroyed her phone, and the crime was planned in advance. The three men disposed of Raja’s body.
The police officer further stated that the killers and Sonam chose Wei Sawdong for the crime because it was deserted. None of them had ever been to Meghalaya before. A police team is currently in Indore and carrying out further investigations.
