Missing Bride Arrested After Allegedly Murdering Husband on Their Honeymoon

Businessman Raja Raghuvanshi was found murdered near Sohra, Meghalaya, and his funeral took place on June 4, 2025, in Indore.
Raja and his wife Sonam went missing during their honeymoon after leaving a homestay in Mawlakhiat village, triggering a search operation amid family pressure.
Authorities found Raja’s body in a 200-foot garbage-filled gorge on June 2, and on June 8, Sonam was taken into custody after she turned herself in at a police facility in Ghazipur district, Uttar Pradesh.
Police found a new locally used machete near the corpse and arrested three other suspects from Madhya Pradesh, with officials stating the plan involved killing Raja in a remote place and disposing of the body.
Sonam's father denies her guilt and demands a federal inquiry, while Raja's brother awaits a confession, and Meghalaya police continue the investigation amid calls to restore the state's safety image.
