Honeymoon murder: Sonam Raghuvanshi's bag and jewellery found in Indore house

Bhopal, June 30 (UNI) A team of Meghalaya Police arrived in Indore from Shillong along with property dealer Shilom James, and conducted searches at his house in Indore and his in-laws' house at Ratlam.
Shilom was detained a few days ago at Indore on charges of allegedly concealing crucial evidence connected to the gruesome murder of Indore transport businessman Raja Raghuvanshi at Sohra in Meghalaya on May 23.
Though the Meghalaya Police officials remained tightlipped, sources said that the police found the bag of Sonam, Raja's wife and main accused, from the locked house of Shilom's in-laws at Mangal Murti colony of Ratlam yesterday.
The police team found and seized Sonam's jewellery, and cash in the bag.
Some unconfirmed sources also said the bag also contained a laptop, which could provide some crucial insights to the probe of the murder.
Further investigations are on.
The Meghalaya Police team had detained Shilom James on June 22 on charges of allegedly concealing vital information and evidence that could be crucial in the case.
James had rented out a flat in a building at Dewas Naka area of Indore to Vishal Chauhan, one of the arrested murder accused.
Sonam is believed to have stayed in this flat secretly for almost 10 days, soon after Raja's murder in Shillong on May 23.
Raja Raghuvanshi (29), a transport businessman of Indore, got married to Sonam Raghuvanshi (25), also of Indore, on May 11. They reached Shillong in Meghalaya on May 20, for their honeymoon.
However, both went missing there on May 23. Raja’s body was found in a deep gorge near a waterfall in the Sohra (Cherrapunji) area on June 2.
The Meghalaya police registered a case of murder and launched investigations.
Meanwhile, Sonam remained missing for the next seven days, despite extensive search operations.
In the wee hours of June 9, Sonam was located at a dhaba at Ghazipur in Uttar Pradesh. She was initially detained and subsequently arrested, on suspicion of being the main mastermind behind her husband’s murder.
Following that, four more accused were arrested, including three suspected hired killers from Indore and Bina in Madhya Pradesh, and another suspect from Uttar Pradesh.
The Meghalaya police took all the four men, Raj Kushwaha, Vishal Chauhan, Anand Kurmi, and Akash Rajput, on transit remand from a Court at Indore to Shillong on June 10.
