The mother of Raja Raghuvanshi, the Indore businessman murdered during his honeymoon in Meghalaya, said that the allegations against Sonam Raghuvanshi were not baseless and also questioned Sonam’s conduct.

This comes as Sonam Raghuvanshi spoke to the media for the first time and presented her side of the story after being out on bail.

Speaking to media, Raja’s mother, Uma Raghuvanshi, said
“The allegations are neither baseless nor false. They are being made because Sonam is an accused in a murder case. If she was innocent, then why did she not appear before the court? She has not attended the court proceedings even once.”

Expressing disappointment over Sonam’s public appearances, she alleged that there appeared to be no remorse on her part.
“She is moving around freely, and that is not right. She does not seem to regret what has happened. We are only asking for justice,” she said.

Uma also criticised Sonam’s family, claiming they had strong faith in Tantrics and questioned why they had agreed to the marriage if they held such beliefs.

“If they believed so strongly in such practices, why did they marry their daughter to my son? Why was my son’s life taken away? Today, all we want is justice,” she added.

The case dates back to May 2025, when Raja Raghuvanshi, the son of a prominent transport businessman from Indore, married Sonam. Shortly after their wedding, the couple travelled to Meghalaya for their honeymoon.

The couple reportedly went missing on May 23, 2025. Following an extensive search operation, Raja’s decomposed body was recovered from a deep gorge in Meghalaya on June 3.

Investigators later claimed to have uncovered evidence suggesting Sonam’s involvement in a conspiracy to murder her husband.
