In a major display of public outrage over the honeymoon murder of Raja Raghuvanshi, a video has surfaced online showing a passenger slapping one of the four accused while he was being escorted by Shillong Police and the Indore Crime Branch for a flight to Shillong.
The incident took place on Tuesday night at Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport in Indore.
The video shows the passenger, waiting with his luggage outside the airport, slapping the accused as the investigating team was moving with the accused toward the airport’s entry gate.
The honeymoon murder case has sent shockwaves across the nation and sparked widespread public anger. The passenger's outburst, captured on camera, reflects the prevailing sentiment over the brutal killing of 29-year-old Raja Raghuvanshi.
Since all the accused were wearing masks, it is unclear which one was slapped.
The video of the incident has since gone viral on social media.
All four accused in the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case were brought to Shillong after a seven-day transit remand was obtained for further investigation.
They were taken to Sadar Police Station in Shillong.
Accused Sonam Raghuvanshi was later taken to Ganesh Das Hospital for a medical examination.
The Meghalaya Police currently has a three-day transit remand for her. Sonam and the four other accused will be produced in court today.
According to police sources, she has not confessed to the crime and has attempted to mislead investigators with fabricated stories, claiming she was drugged, robbed, and kidnapped, to portray herself as a victim.
Earlier, Raja Raghuvanshi’s body was discovered in a gorge in Meghalaya during the couple’s honeymoon. A manhunt was subsequently launched to find his missing wife, Sonam. As the investigation progressed, suspicions around her deepened. Police later revealed that she was allegedly the mastermind behind the murder, having conspired with her boyfriend and hired three individuals to carry out Raja’s assassination.
