Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Tuesday said he is hurt and pained by the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case, in which a newly-wedded man from Indore was allegedly killed during a honeymoon trip in Meghalaya by contract killers reportedly hired by his wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi.
Terming it a painful incident, Mohan Yadav indicated that proper care should be taken when finalising marriage proposals.
“The Sonam Raghuvanshi-Raja Raghuvanshi incident is a lesson to society as well as a very painful incident. It teaches us several lessons. When two families come together through marriage, things need to be taken care of very minutely. Letting children go so far also needs to be thought about. I am hurt by this incident,” Mohan Yadav told ANI.
Earlier today, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime), Indore, Rajesh Dandotiya, said four accused have been arrested in the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case.
The four accused have been identified as Akash Rajput, Vishal Singh Chauhan, Raj Singh Kushwaha, and Anand.
The DCP said all four will be taken to Shillong following the completion of transit remand formalities later today.
“All four accused are currently in the Indore Police Commissionerate. The Shillong Police interrogated them. The transit remand of the three accused was taken yesterday. Today, the fourth accused has been arrested. Shillong Police will take all four accused with them today after taking transit remand,” Dandotiya told ANI.
The Meghalaya Police earlier brought the prime accused and the wife of the deceased, Sonam Raghuvanshi, to Phulwari Sarif police station in Bihar’s Patna after receiving her three-day transit remand.
A senior Uttar Pradesh police official said Sonam was found near a dhaba on the Varanasi-Ghazipur main road.
The UP police kept her at the Sakhi One Stop Centre in Ghazipur. After the arrival of the Meghalaya Police, she was taken to the District Hospital for a medical examination.
Raja Raghuvanshi and his wife, Sonam, both residents of Madhya Pradesh’s Indore, had gone missing during their honeymoon in the northeastern state of Meghalaya. Raja Raghuvanshi’s body was later recovered in Meghalaya’s East Khasi Hills district.
