Indore tourist Raja Raghuvanshi was allegedly murdered by contract killers hired by his wife, Sonam, during their honeymoon in Meghalaya, police confirmed.

Raja’s body was discovered in a ravine close to Sohra on June 2, nearly ten days after the couple disappeared. Their rented scooter was discovered abandoned nearby. A local guide had last seen them with three unidentified men, prompting suspicions of foul play.

Sonam voluntarily turned herself in at a police station in Ghazipur, UP. Meghalaya Police said she was in a relationship with Raj Kushwaha and conspired with him to murder Raja, hiring killers from Madhya Pradesh. Three suspects have been arrested; a fourth is on the run.

Meghalaya DGP Idashisha Nongrang confirmed Sonam’s role. CM Conrad Sangma praised the police for swift action. Meanwhile, Sonam's father denied the allegations and demanded a CBI probe, accusing police of fabricating the case.
