Pde, who is a guide at Mawlakhiat, said that the three men accompanied the couple as they were climbing up over 3,000 steps from Nongriat to Mawlakhiat around 10 am on May 23. He said , ” The four men were conversing in Hindi, but i could not understand what they were speaking as I know only Khasi and English.Pde also said that he offered to guide the couple to Nongriat on May 22, a day before they went missing. However, the couple declined his service and went with another guide named Bha Wansai. They spent the night at Shipara homestay and returned the next day without a guide, Pde said.

According to the Meghalaya police, three arrested men are believed to have been hired to kill Raja Raghuvanshi, allegedly by his wife Sonam, who has also been arrested after surrendering at the Nandganj police station in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghazipur.
