'100% Sure She Committed Murder': Sonam Raghuvanshi's Brother's Major Claim

During a press conference, Govind demanded severe punishment for Sonam on the matter and stated that she should be hanged if found guilty.

Sonam Raghuvanshi's brother Govind on Wednesday made a shocking statement claiming he's "100% sure" his sister's involvement in the murder of her husband, Raja Raghuvanshi.

During a press conference here, Govind demanded severe punishment for Sonam on the matter and stated that she should be hanged if found guilty. He further publicly distanced himself and his family from his sister, noting that he had apologised to Raja's family as they lost their son and said that he would do anything to make amends for his sister's actions.

"According to the evidence found so far, I am 100 per cent sure that she has committed this murder... All the accused in this case are related to Raj Kushwaha... I am no one to ask for forgiveness from the (Raja's) family. But I have apologised but this family had lost their son... We have broken our ties with Sonam and now I have become a part of the family and I will do everything against Sonam as Raja was very close to me," Govind stated.

"If Sonam is guilty, she should be hanged," he added.

The murder case involves the killing of Raja Raghuvanshi, a resident of Indore, Madhya Pradesh, who was found dead in a gorge near Sohra, close to Cherrapunji in Meghalaya, on June 2.

Raja was on his honeymoon with his wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, to the northeastern state in May, 2025. Both had been reported missing earlier during the trip.

Following the discovery of Raja's body, Sonam was located near a roadside dhaba on the Varanasi-Ghazipur highway. She, along with four others--Akash Rajput, Vishal Singh Chauhan, Raj Singh Kushwaha, and Anand--has been accused in connection with the alleged murder.

Govind also pointed to the close ties between Sonam and one of the accused, revealing details about Sonam's relationship with Kushwaha.

"Raj Kushwaha always used to call Sonam 'Didi' and his family is saying the same thing... For the last three years, Sonam has been tying a rakhi to Raj Kushwaha," Govind stated.

"Sonam does not considered herself guilty. There has been no contact between us... We have severed all ties with her... I will fight on behalf of Raja (Raghuvanshi)," he added.

Meanwhile, Sonam Raghuvanshi, along with four other accused involved in the murder case, is expected to be produced in the court today.

They are currently under investigation by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Meghalaya Police and are kept at the Shillong Sadar Police Station.
