The elder brother of Indore businessman Raja Raghuvanshi, killed while honeymooning in Meghalaya, said on Monday his family will approach the Meghalaya High Court for narco-analysis tests on prime accused in the case Sonam and her alleged lover Raj Kushwaha.
Besides Sonam, wife of Raja Raghuvanshi, and Kushwaha, five others have been arrested by the Meghalaya police for the sensational murder which took place in May when the newly-married couple was on a honeymoon trip to the north-eastern state.
Raja Raghuvanshi’s elder brother Vipin told PTI in Indore, “The motive behind my brother’s murder is still unclear. Narco tests on Sonam and Kushwaha can provide clues about it. Therefore, we will soon file a petition in the Meghalaya High Court for conducting narco tests on both accused.”
Apart from the alleged ‘love triangle’, the motive behind the murder could be to gain huge financial benefits by the accused, he suspected.
During a narco-analysis test, a drug, sodium pentothal, is injected into the body of the subject which takes him/her to a hypnotic state, and his/her imagination is neutralised, leading him/her to give true information about an incident. (PTI)
