Four men accused of killing Indore-based businessman Raja Raghuvanshi have confessed to the crime, the Indore Crime Branch said on Tuesday. According to ACP Poonam Chand Yadav, who spoke exclusively to India Today TV, the accused not only admitted to carrying out the murder but also revealed that Raja’s wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, was present at the scene and “watched her husband



die.”

As per the Crime Branch’s investigation, three of the accused, Vishal, Akash, and Anand, left Indore by train. They changed several trains to reach Meghalaya, first going to Guwahati and then on to Shillong, ACP Yadav explained.

Raj Kushwaha, who is alleged to be Sonam’s lover and co-conspirator, stayed behind in Indore but is alleged to have financially supported the three with Rs 40,000-50,000 each for their travel expenses.

The accused told the police that Sonam was present on the spot when Raja was killed and watched on.

What remains unclear is whether Sonam stayed back in Meghalaya after the killing or returned to Indore. “That detail is yet to be confirmed by Meghalaya Police,” ACP Yadav noted.
