Sonam and Raja got married in Indore on May 11 and arrived in Meghalaya via Guwahati in Assam on May 20.
Shillong:
Raja Raghuvanshi, the Indore resident killed while honeymooning in Meghalaya, was told by his wife Sonam that she would let him consummate the marriage only after making an offering at the Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati, investigators said on Wednesday.
Accordingly, Raja planned their trip to Guwahati and adjacent Meghalaya for the honeymoon, while his wife and her boyfriend allegedly plotted to kill him in the jungles of the northeastern state, considering its perceived remoteness, they said.
“Sonam convinced her husband Raja that they need to make offerings at the Kamakhya Devi Temple before consummating the marriage,” a police officer who is a part of the investigation told PTI.
Sonam and Raja got married in Indore on May 11 and arrived in Meghalaya via Guwahati in Assam on May 20. Both of them went missing on May 23 in Sohra in East Khasi Hills district, hours after checking out of a homestay at Nongriat village.
Raja’s body was found in a gorge near Weisawdong Falls on June 2. A search continued for Sonam, who emerged in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghazipur, around 1,200 km away, in the early hours of June 9 and surrendered as police arrested her boyfriend Raj Kushwaha and the three contract killers hired by them to murder Raja.

Mr Gandhi had raised several questions about the way the Maharashtra Assembly elections were conducted last year.
New Delhi:
Issuing a rebuttal to Rahul Gandhi’s fresh claims of “match-fixing” in the November 2024 Maharashtra elections, the Election Commission has re-released a document it had issued in April this year and said the Congress MP’s allegations are “completely absurd”.
Hitting back hours later, Mr Gandhi said the poll body had released “unsigned, evasive notes”, adding that was no way of answering serious questions. He also said that if the Election Commission has nothing to hide, it should answer the questions posed by him and also release the CCTV footage from Maharashtra booths after 5 pm on the day of voting.

Amid escalating tensions between US President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has offered to mediate a “peace deal” between them – a role assumed by the Republican leader amid the war between Russia and Ukraine. According to Mr Dmitry Medvedev, Moscow is ready to become a mediator for a “reasonable fee”.
They will accept Starlink shares as payment, he said.
“We are ready to facilitate the conclusion of a peace deal between D and E for a reasonable fee and to accept Starlink shares as payment. Don’t fight, guys,” the former Russian President wrote in a post on X.
To this, the Tesla CEO responded with a laughing emoji.
Mr Medvedev’s comment comes a day after Russian lawmaker Dmitry Novikov has suggested that Musk could seek political asylum in Russia. “I think that Musk has a completely different game, that he will not need any political asylum, although, if he did, Russia, of course, could provide it,” Mr Novikov told the Russian News Agency TASS.
