Meghalaya Murder: Raja Raghuvanshi’s Sister Shrasti Reacts To Instagram Backlash, Reveals Being Misunderstood
In a latest update, Shrasti Raghuvanshi, sister of the late Raja Raghuvanshi, has responded to the wave of criticism!
The drama just keeps on piling in the Meghalaya murder row with new discoveries day by day. In a latest update, Shrasti Raghuvanshi, sister of the late Raja Raghuvanshi, has responded to the wave of criticism directed at her for posting Instagram Reels in the wake of her brother’s shocking murder. Facing heavy trolling online, Shrasti has defended her actions, stating that her posts were meant to keep the case in the public eye, not to seek attention or gain followers.
What Did Shrasti Raghuvanshi Say About Instagram Trolling In Raja Raghuvanshi Murder Case?
The controversy began shortly after Raja was found dead during his honeymoon in Meghalaya, where he was with his wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi. Just days after his body was recovered, Shrasti posted a promotional video for a massage parlour in Indore. The post sparked outrage, prompting her to delete it, but she continued sharing videos, including moments from Raja and Sonam’s wedding. Many accused Shrasti of using her brother’s tragic death to build her social media presence. Her Instagram following reportedly surged from around 3 lakh to over 4.8 lakh in the past few weeks.
In her recent Instagram video, Shrashti has clarified that she never intended to exploit her brother’s death for fame. Instead, she insisted that her content helped draw national attention to the case. According to her, if she hadn’t spoken up so publicly, the story may have died out quickly, just like many other criminal cases that fade from the news cycle without justice.
She acknowledged being trolled across platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, and said she was well aware of the negative comments being circulated about her. But she pushed back, saying it’s unfair that people are targeting her when her sole focus has been getting justice for Raja. Calling out the online criticism, Shrasti questioned why others weren’t showing the same urgency she has. “Everyone is quick to judge, but what are you doing for my brother?” she asked in the video, urging viewers to support the cause instead of tearing her down.
Despite the scrutiny, Shrasti has made it clear she will not stop fighting. For her, the Instagram Reels were not self-promotion, they were part of a larger effort to make sure her brother’s murder does not go unnoticed or unpunished.
