Indore: The police of Madhya Pradesh has claimed that Sonam Raghuvanshi had returned to Indore days after killing her husband in Meghalaya , met her alleged lover in a rented room and plotted her next move before surfacing 2000 km away showcasing herself in a position of dazed and dishevelled at a dhaba in eastern UP.
Sonam had vanished on May 23 near Wei Sawdong falls in East Khasi Hills, where she and her husband Raja Raghuvanshi had travelled on a sudden honeymoon . Raja’s body was found in a gorge near the falls parking lot on June 2. She remained missing. Her sudden reappearance in Ghazipur on June 9 deepened the mystery. Indore police said that her plan was a flop one since she was never abducted.” We have information that Sonam reached Indre between May 25 and May 27 by train and styed in a rented room in Dewas Gate, Raj Kushawaha, her co-accused met her there. He later arranged a taxi to UP”.
Police furtherly didn’t explain why she was sent to uttar pradesh. The CCTV footage is being examined to track her route, which the investigators said was deliberately confusing. Railway records show she may have taken a train from Guwahati to Patna after May 23-24, dodging flight records and misleading the police. The senior UP police officer said that ” We have CCTV footage of her getting off a Guwahati-Patna train. The route was chosen to mis-guide investigators. The gap of 15 days between the Raja’s death and Sonam’s arrest is said to be a calculated effort to fabricate a tale of trauma – induced amnesia. Sonam after being arrested and kept at a shelter, she reportedly slept for seven of her 15 hours there, avoided doctors and police and repeated ” Mujhe kuch yaad nahi”. A woman officer claimed that ” she looked nothing like a bride. No grief, no mention of husband. Just fatigue and sleepiness”. It is even said that the accused’s tried to push Raja off a cliff in a forest first but failed to do so, instead the attackers used a machete bought in Guwahati and hacked Raja to death in a remote area, as Sonam watched”.
