Meghalaya honeymoon murder: Did Sonam confess to killing husband Raja Raghuvanshi? Here's what police say

Meghalaya honeymoon murder case: There is a ‘strong possibility’ of Sonam Raghuvanshi being involved in the killing of her husband Raja Raghuvanshi during their honeymoon but it is tough to confirm yet, Meghalaya police said on Wednesday.

Dismissing reports that Sonam had confessed to murdering Raja Raghuvanshi while they were on their honeymoon in Meghalaya, Additional SP East Khasi Hills, Ashish, said that the information on public domain is not ‘concrete’.

“Today, the paperwork is being done to forward the suspects to the court. So we didn't get time to question them. There is a strong possibility that she (Sonam Raghuvanshi) is involved. But it is tough to confirm that yet because the investigation is pending,” he told media during a briefing.

The police officer said that the investigation is at its initial stages and police will share information soon.

“We are at the initial stages. As soon as we come to know new information, we will share it. Whatever information (is in the public domain) right now is not concrete,” he said.

SP East Khasi Hills Vivek Syiem further informed that now that the accused have been brought to Shillong, where the murder allegedly happened, a thorough investigation will start. 

He also said that the police have adequate information of Sonam Raghuvanshi's involvement in the crime.

“We have just brought the accused here. Now, a thorough investigation will start. We have adequate evidence of her involvement. Regarding the whole picture - how much was her involvement and what she did- all this will come out later,” Syiem told the media.
