Sonam Raghuvanshi

On 23 May 2025, Raja Raghuvanshi (29) and Sonam Raghuvanshi (25), a married Indian couple from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, disappeared while on their honeymoon in Meghalaya. The couple was last seen on the same day, hours after checking out of a homestay at Nongriat village in Cherrapunji (Sohra). On 2 June 2025, Raja’s decomposed body was discovered in a deep gorge beneath the Wei Sawdong Falls in Sohra. His death has been treated as a suspected homicide and a Special Investigation Team was formed by Meghalaya police to probe the case. Initially treated as a suspected accident or abduction, the case took a dramatic turn when Sonam was arrested on charges of orchestrating her husband's murder. According to the Meghalaya Police, Sonam allegedly hired contract killers and plotted Raja’s murder during the trip. The investigation is ongoing and has sparked widespread media coverage and public debate.
