Sonam Raghuvanshi Case: HR Manager to Murder Accused – What Really Happened?

👩💼 Background and Personal Life: A simple girl with dreams
Sonam was born and brought up in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. She not only belonged to a well-off family, but also set an example of self-reliance as an HR manager in her father’s company.
Love entered her life when she met Raja Kushwaha—who was five years younger than her. Their relationship grew stronger and their love was ready to cross the boundaries of society. It is said that they even planned to flee to Nepal, taking the help of three friends.
It was the story of a young woman who was as serious about relationships as she was about her career.
💑 Marriage and Honeymoon: The Storm Lurking Among the Clouds of Love
Sonam and Raja got married on 11 May 2025.
After marriage, the two left for their honeymoon—leaving for Cherrapunji (Sohra) in Meghalaya on May 20.
On May 22, they reached the romantic Nongriat village, where they enjoyed the world-famous “Double Decker Root Bridge”.
But on the morning of May 23, when they left for their return—everything changed.
🔍 Disappearance and Investigation: When the love story became a mystery
On May 23 at 1:43 pm, the two lost contact after their last phone call to their family in Indore.
On May 24, their scooter was found abandoned near a cafe on the Shillong-Sohra road—but both Sonam and Raja were missing.
And then on June 2, 2025, a news came that shocked everyone—Raja’s body was recovered from a ravine at Wei Sawdong Falls.
It was no longer just a love story—it had turned into a potential murder case.
🚔 FIR, arrest and serious allegations: When questions started being raised on a woman
The Meghalaya police formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) and Sonam was taken into custody in June 2025.
She was accused of hiring a contract killer to kill her husband.
An educated HR manager, who was once ready to give up everything for her love—now became the prime accused in the country’s most talked about murder case.
🧍♀️ Social reaction: When fingers were pointed at a quiet girl
Indore society had always seen Sonam as a simple, strong and quiet girl.
Neighbours said:
“She was just a simple girl, it is hard to believe that something like this could be associated with her name.”
The family has also said that Sonam is innocent. Raja’s brother has demanded a CBI probe into the entire case so that the truth can be revealed.
🤔 Motive and possible conspiracy: When more questions than facts were raised
Initial investigations revealed that Sonam and Raja were seen with some unknown men.
Raja’s body was found in a ditch in an unnatural position—which strengthened the possibility of murder.
Sonam is accused of hatching a conspiracy and hiring people to commit the murder, but she herself has remained silent till now.
👀 What next? Waiting for justice in favor of a woman
🔹 Demand for CBI investigation
Raja’s brother has clearly stated that only a fair and independent investigation can reveal the truth of this case.
🔹 Role of SIT
Phone records, CCTV footage and testimonies are being closely examined.
🔹 Media and social media reaction
This case has created a storm on social media. While people are expressing faith in Sonam’s innocence, some are also asking this question—can a simple-looking girl really hatch such a big conspiracy?
📌 Conclusion: A warning and a question for every woman
Sonam Raghuvanshi’s story is an alarming reminder that behind the happiness of relationships, love and marriage, there are many storms hidden.
Was it really a murder?
Or the story of a woman who was made guilty by circumstances?
Until an impartial investigation by CBI or SIT is completed, all we can say is:
“Not every woman’s story is true—but it is important to understand every story with truth.”
