“Police in India say a woman, who had gone missing after her husband was found brutally murdered during their honeymoon, is in custody after she surrendered. The families of the couple had alleged that the bride had also either been killed or abducted and mounted a huge campaign to find her. Police now allege that Sonam Raghuvanshi, 25, hired killers to murder her 30-year-old husband Raja during their trip to the tiny north-eastern state of Meghalaya. Four men have also been arrested. Sonam’s father Devi Singh has defended his daughter, saying ‘she is innocent and she cannot do this.’ … The couple had married on 11 May in Indore in a ceremony blessed by both their families. … The couple left for Meghalaya on 20 May. But four days into their trip, they went missing.” (06/09/25)
