A new twist in this case came when Sonam was found at a dhaba in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, from where she was taken into custody. After Sonam's arrest, the police revealed that the wife had conspired to murder Raja Raghuvanshi along with her lover.
How was the murder plot hatched?
The conspiracy to murder Raja Raghuvanshi was hatched by Raj Kushwaha and Sonam together. To carry out this murder, Raj hired contract killers. Raj Kushwaha hired contract killers named Akash, Vishal and Anand to carry out the murder in Shillong. Although Raj himself did not come to Shillong, he was in touch with Sonam through phone. Raj Kushwaha was sub-coordinating on the phone.
Where did the accused go after committing the murder?
As part of the conspiracy, Sonam deliberately took Raja Raghuvanshi to a deserted road. As soon as they reached the deserted road, the three murderers killed Raja Raghuvanshi with a sharp weapon. After committing the murder, Akash, Vishal, Anand and Sonam reached Guwahati from Shillong. All of them stayed in Guwahati for a day. After this, all four left for different places. After committing the murder, the next destination of all the accused was to reach Cherrapunji.
How did the police's suspicion on Sonam deepen?
According to the police, Raja's body was recovered on June 2 and a Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed. According to sources, during the investigation, the police got information that Sonam was alive and she might be involved in the murder. When the police took out Sonam's call details, they came to know that Sonam was in constant touch with Raj Kushwaha. Both of them knew each other before and there was a love affair between them.
How did the police reach all the accused?
