A Honeymoon That Turned Deadly in Shillong
What was meant to be a romantic honeymoon in Shillong, India, turned into a chilling homicide investigation after businessman Raja Raghuvanshi was found dead in a remote canyon. His new bride, Sonam Raghuvanshi, who first appeared as a grieving spouse, is now accused of masterminding the crime.
From Missing Husband to Murder Inquiry
On May 20, Raja and Sonam arrived in Shillong, a hill station famous for waterfalls, winding roads, and serene valleys. Within days, Raja went missing. Soon after, search teams recovered a decomposed body from a gorge—injuries consistent with a fall or deliberate push from a height. The absence of ID and a missing wedding ring delayed identification, but the victim was later confirmed as Raja.
