The murder of Raja Raghuvanshi in Meghalaya has shaken the entire nation. The Indore couple, Raja Raghuvanshi and Sonam Raghuvanshi, went missing at Sohra on May 23, 2025. Days later, Raja’s dead body was found in a gorge near a waterfall. When Sonam was found by the police, further investigation on the case revealed that the murder was plotted by his wife, Sonam, and her lover with the help of some accomplices.
The story took another turn when Raja’s brother, Vipin, revealed that the family members had no idea about their Meghalaya trip. They knew that the couple had set out to visit the Kamakhya temple.

What can be the reason for Sonam to take Raja to the Kamakhya temple before his death? Let’s find out
The plan about booking tickets to Meghalaya without informing the family has already created a twist in this brutal murder case. Although there is no proper evidence as to why the couple went to the temple, we believe that the reason might be to get divine blessings after their marriage. It is said that the Kamakhya sindoor can grant any kind of desire, including vashikaran, love, marriage, career upliftment, grah shanti, and more.

For a parent, losing a child can be extremely hurtful; it is evident that Raja Raghuvanshi’s mom has been shattered by the news of his brutal murder.
In a conversation with ANI, Raja’s mom recalled that Sonam used to behave with her decently. She also said that she used to show affection towards her and often hugged her and called her ‘mummy’.
When she was asked about Sonam’s speculated relationship with one of the killers, Raj Kushwaha, Raja’s mom expressed that she had no idea about it.
When Raja’s mom was asked to shed some light on their visit to the Kamakhya temple, she shared some noteworthy details. She mentioned that she sensed some danger beforehand. She said that when she noticed that Raja was wearing a lot of expensive jewels for visiting the temple, and Sonam was decked up as a bride, she felt something strange.
She revealed that she even asked Raja why he wore so many jewels, and he said that it was his wife, Sonam, who convinced him to wear them.

She has planned it very well. There is Kannada movie “ Ba Nalle Madhu Chandrake” movie. The plot resembles 100% of that movie.
