The Special Investigation Team from Meghalaya visited Sonam's Indore's parents' house in Govind Nagar Kharcha area,and spent about two hours inside, reported PTI.
Later, it visited Kushwaha's house and questioned his mother Chunni Devi for half an hour.
As per the local police, Kushwaha who is accused of plotting the murder is merely a class 12th dropout, yet worked as an accountant in Sonam's family business. It was then that he came close to Sonam.
The Meghalaya police team asked the family members of Sonam and Kushwaha about their alleged relationship and whether there was any change in Sonam's behaviour after her marriage to Raja Raghuvanshi, sources said.
