The Meghalaya murder case has taken the entire nation by storm. For the unversed, a couple from Indore, Raja Raghuvanshi and Sonam Raghuvanshi, went out on their honeymoon on May 16, 2025, and on May 23, 2025, they went missing. Later, Raja’s dead body was found in a gorge, and it was reported that it was Sonam, who was one of the main plotters of the murder. Raja’s brother, Vipin shared that the couple had set out to visit Kamakhya temple, and the family members had no idea about their Meghalaya trip. Amid the rising tension, let’s have a look at the reason why Sonam took Raja to the temple.
Why did Sonam Raghuvanshi take Raja Raghuvanshi to Kamakhya temple before his murder?
To know why Sonam Raghuvanshi took Raja to the Kamakhya temple, we first need to know about the significance of the holy shrine. While there is no proper evidence as to why they went to the temple, and it was believed that they reached there to seek divine blessings only after their marriage, the plan about booking tickets to Meghalaya without the knowledge of family already created a twist in this case.
For the unversed, the Kamakhya sindoor can be believed to grant any kind of desire, be it about vashikaran, career upliftment, love, marriage, grah shanti and more. In an interview, Raja’s mother shared that Sonam had asked him to wear his gold chain, which she found to be strange. But as the netizens are connecting the dots, the worry is floating around if the visit to the Kamakhya temple of the couple was about any tantra-mantra or only for the seek of divine blessings.
Raja Raghuvanshi’s mother shared some shocking details about Sonam Raghuvanshi’s strange behaviour
There’s nothing more hurtful for a parent than to witness his/her kids’ demise, and it’s easily understandable how Raja Raghuvanshi’s mom has been feeling. Talking to ANI, Raja’s mom said that Sonam used to behave with her in a decent way, and she would often hug her, calling her ‘mummy’. For the unversed, one of the killers, Raj Kushwaha, was said to be Sonam’s beau. When asked about Sonam’s speculated relationship, Raja’s mom said that she had no idea about the same.

Coming to the connection of Kamakhya temple in this case, Raja’s mom had shared some eye-catching details, wherein she mentioned that she sensed danger beforehand. She also felt sceptical when his son wore a lot of jewels for visiting the temple, and Sonam decked up as a bride. She even asked Raja why he wore the jewels, and he said that it was Sonam who convinced him to wear them.
The entire scenario of how Sonam and the other killers were caught
On May 23, 2025, Sonam and Raja went missing. Following this, the homestay owner lodged an FIR, and the investigation began. A few days later, Raja’s dead body was found in a gorge.
