Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India], June 20 (ANI): As Sonam Raghuvanshi and Raj Kushwaha were remanded to two-day police custody and the three other accused were sent to 14-day judicial custody in the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case, the victim’s mother, Uma Raghuvanshi, accused Sonam of misleading and investigators and urged her to confess.
Speaking to ANI, Uma Raghuvanshi said, “She (Sonam) is misleading too much. She should tell the whole truth. She should be kept in custody until she tells why she killed Raja.”
On Thursday, the District Session Court in Shillong sent Sonam Raghuvanshi and Raj Kushwaha to two days in police custody, while the remaining accused — Akash Rajput, Vishal Singh Chauhan, and Anand — were sent to 14-day judicial custody.
Earlier in the day, all five accused were brought out of the Civil Hospital in Shillong for a medical check-up and then produced before a local court for custody proceedings.
Meanwhile, a team of Shillong Police questioned the taxi driver who transported Sonam Raghuvanshi from Indore to Uttar Pradesh. After the interrogation, the driver told the media, “They had called me in connection with the vehicle, I have told them everything.”
The accused were later escorted to the court.
As part of its investigation, the Meghalaya Police SIT on Tuesday reconstructed the crime scene as part of their investigations into the murder of Raja Raghuvanshi. The murder scene was recreated by the SIT team in Sohra in the presence of the accused, Sonam Raghuvanshi, and three others.
Superintendent of Police, East Khasi Hills, Vivek Syiem, said that the reconstruction of the crime scene was very successful as the police then “got a very clear picture.” Detailing the reconstruction of the crime scene, SP Vivek Syiem said that one more machete used to murder Raja Raghuvanshi still needs to be recovered.
“The SIT visited several places to re-play how the accused did it. We started from the parking lot where they had kept their two-wheelers. We went to the viewpoint, and ascertained who was standing where just before the murder. There were three blows – first by Vishal, second by Anand and the last blow by Akash. We have ascertained that one more machete still needs to be recovered. The accused replayed how they threw the machete. SDRF are trying to recover the second weapon,” he said.
Speaking to the media, SP Vivek Syiem also informed that Sonam Raghuvanshi and Vishal damaged Raja Raghuvanshi’s phone after the murder. “We have ascertained what happened to Raja’s mobile phone. Sonam damaged it, and then Vishal damaged it. This whole thing was played out, and also their exit from here,” he said.”We have ascertained that the victim was hit with the weapon. The first hit was by Vishal aka Vicky. When Raja was hit and blood came out, Sonam moved away from the spot. The three accused threw the body down,” he added. (ANI)
