The family of Raja Raghuvanshi, victim of a murder, has demanded narco-tests for his wife, Sonam, and her lover, Raj Kushwaha, alleging they are misleading the police. Court approval is awaited.
Raja Raghuvanshi Murder Case: A new twist has emerged in the murder case of Indore transport businessman Raja Raghuvanshi. The victim's family has demanded narco-analysis tests for the main accused, Sonam and Raj Kushwaha. Sachin Raghuvanshi, Raja's elder brother, stated that the truth cannot surface until a narco-analysis of these accused is conducted. He believes the accused are misleading the police and that a narco-test will reveal the real layers of the conspiracy.
What is the entire case?
29-year-old Raja Raghuvanshi was murdered in May at a tourist spot in Meghalaya while on his honeymoon with his wife, Sonam. The case came to light when investigations revealed the involvement of Raja's wife, Sonam, and her lover, Raj Kushwaha. Police have arrested five people so far, including Sonam, Raj, and three other accomplices.
How was the murder plot hatched?
Police investigations revealed a pre-existing romantic relationship between Sonam and Raj Kushwaha, which continued even after her marriage. They planned Raja's murder together. Raj paid three others to travel to Meghalaya, where the murder took place. Police believe this was a pre-planned conspiracy motivated by financial gain and personal relationships.
Family's resentment and demand for narco-tests
Speaking to the media, Raja's brother, Sachin Raghuvanshi, alleged that Sonam and Raj are misleading the police, concealing several facts. He insisted that narco-tests are necessary to uncover the truth, adding that more people might be involved in the conspiracy, whose names could only emerge after the narco-tests.
Police action so far
Investigations have led to the arrest of five accused and the collection of significant evidence. However, the family believes that these arrests alone will not reveal the full truth. The police clarified that scientific methods like narco-tests can only be used with court permission. If the aggrieved party files a formal application, the process can be initiated.
Sonam and Raj's troubles may increase
If the court permits narco-tests, Sonam and Raj Kushwaha's problems could escalate. Narco-analysis is a scientific method involving administering a drug that prevents the subject from lying. If the test confirms their involvement in the conspiracy, the evidence against them will strengthen, increasing the likelihood of a harsher sentence.
Demand for stringent punishment for the culprits
Sachin Raghuvanshi also demanded a fast-track trial to ensure speedy justice for the victim's family. He advocated for a double life sentence for the culprits, considering the crime not just a murder, but also a betrayal and a pre-planned conspiracy.
