      Nepotism – the executioner of bright deserving minds.

      The honeymoon of Raja Raghuvanshi and his wife Sonam on May 23 had turned into a murder trip coupled with an extra-marital affair that sent shockwaves across the entire nation.

      Sonam and her boyfriend Raj Kushwaha with whom she was madly in love with should be given capital punishment and her entire family should be punished because they knew of her plans.

      This murder case is a plot twist straight out of the screens of crime patrol. The murder mystery that had gripped Meghalaya and other parts of India as well has at last come to an end. Sonam Raghuvanshi, the bride, was found to be the conspirator of the tragic death of Raja Raghuvanshi whose body was found in a deep gorge in Sohra.

      Meghalaya Police had to spend considerable time and resources to track down Sonam until they found her in Uttar Pradesh. The police were also able to nab the other assailants that Sonam had hired to eliminate her husband Raja.

      Meghalaya Police deserve congratulations for cracking the case that had shocked the state and the nation as well. Sohra also escaped the disgrace of being called “crime prone.”
