Meghalaya police closer to cracking Sohra tourist killing
Shillong, June 30 (UNI) Meghalaya Police is closer to unravelling the web of betrayal and conspiracy that led to the brutal killing of Raja Raghuvanshi in Sohra. The case took a decisive turn when a Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Meghalaya Police, with support from Madhya Pradesh police, raided the home of arrested property dealer Silom James in Ratlam district. During the raid, officers recovered crucial evidence, including Raja's missing gold chain, laptops belonging to both Raja and his wife Sonam, and other incriminating materials. East Khasi Hills Superintendent of Police Vivek Syiem said that the electronic devices and documents hold significant evidentiary value. They are expected to provide further insight into the premeditated nature of the May 23 murder involving Sonam Raghuvanshi and her lover, Raj Kushwaha. The murder of Raja Raghuvanshi, a newlywed who had travelled to Sohra (popularly known as Cherrapunji) with his wife on a honeymoon trip, initially baffled authorities. His decomposed body was discovered near Weisawdong Falls on June 2, ten days after he was reported missing. Raja and Sonam had rented a scooter from Keatinge Road in Shillong on May 22 and headed towards Sohra, about 65 km to the south. After being unable to secure a room at a homestay, they left their belongings behind and trekked nearly 3,000 steps to Nongriat, a scenic but remote village famed for its living root bridges. The couple spent the night there and began their trek back to Mawlakhiat early the next morning. Unknown to Raja, they were being tailed by three men from Indore—later identified as close friends of Raj Kushwaha, Sonam's lover. The men, acting as contract killers, had been captured on camera by a tourist guide and an Instagram user while trekking in the same area, footage that later proved critical in the investigation. By around 11 am on May 23, the group reached a secluded forested area near Weisawdong Falls, where Raja was ambushed and hacked to death with machetes before his body was dumped into a gorge. The attackers and Sonam fled the scene immediately after the crime. UNI XC ARN

Yash Dayal had multiple affairs: Ghaziabad woman alleging harassment says she was close to cricketer's family
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer Yash Dayal was accused last Saturday of exploitation under the pretext of marriage by a woman from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. In a complaint filed via the Chief Minister's online grievance portal (IGRS), the woman alleged a five-year relationship with the cricketer, during which she was emotionally, mentally, and physically exploited. RCB fast bowler Yash Dayal has been accused of harassment(AP) In a fresh claim reported by Dainik Bhaskar on Monday, she further alleged that Yash was involved with multiple women during their relationship. 'Ghaziabad police recorded her statement and have sent a notice to Dayal,' the report said. The report also detailed their relationship timeline, saying they initially connected over social media and later met in Prayagraj. The woman, a former employee at an ed-tech company, claimed she stayed at Yash's residence and was 'close to his family,' although Dayal's father reportedly denied knowing her.

The couple later traveled to Ooty in June with Yash's sister and a friend, staying at the Western Valley Resort. Both posted photos from the trip on Instagram. The woman also claimed they attended an RCB player's wedding in February 2025, where they discussed engagement. She alleged the cricketer had multiple affairs over their 4.5-year relationship. On April 17, she was contacted by another woman who claimed to be in touch with Yash and shared evidence. Three more women allegedly came forward with similar claims. "On 17 April, a girl who was also talking to Yash contacted her and shared proof of his affairs. She says Yash's family knew about this but kept giving her hope of marriage," read the report. "Three other girls have contacted her and shared similar experiences. She says Yash used the same app on their phones to order household items. She found out that he stayed in a Lucknow hotel on 7 June and ordered objectionable items." Ghaziabad Police confirmed a notice has been issued to Yash Dayal, who has now been asked to record his statement. 'Power, money and fame are being used to cover this up. But I have full faith in the law,' she was quoted by Dainik Bhaskar. 'I could have walked away, but how would I know he was cheating? He never showed it. I left it to God, but when his family started speaking badly about me, I decided to take legal steps,' she added.
