In a new twist to the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case, fresh details have surfaced linking Sonam Raghuvanshi to a man named Sanjay Verma. Sources indicate that the two were in frequent contact, adding a new layer of complexity to the ongoing investigation.

Sources indicate that Sonam frequently contacted the number registered to Sanjay Verma on the True Caller app.

Reports indicate that the mobile number associated with Sanjay Verma, previously in contact with Sonam, is currently switched off. Between March 1 and April 8, Sonam reportedly called Sanjay Verma more than 100 times, although official confirmation of this number is still pending. According to sources, Sonam had made 234 calls to this number over three weeks.

Suspicions have arisen regarding the use of a fake SIM card. The number went offline at 11:20 pm on June 8, coinciding with Sonam’s presence in Ghazipur that night. Authorities are currently investigating the number, with the possibility that the SIM was obtained using a false identity.

Where The Investigation Stands Now

The investigation into the murder of Indore’s Raja Raghuvanshi has intensified. On Tuesday, a police team revisited the crime scene with the accused to recreate the sequence of events. Additionally, they interrogated Raja’s brothers at his house. Reports suggest that the Shillong SIT team may also question Sonam at her home.

The Shillong Police SIT in Indore is actively probing the Raja murder case and may also interrogate the house of another accused, Raj Kushwaha. On Tuesday, Shillong police questioned Raja’s family members. Concurrently, the police team in Shillong continues to interrogate the accused, with the information gathered being verified in Indore.

On May 23, Raja Raghuvanshi was allegedly murdered in Meghalaya’s East Khasi Hills, where attackers are said to have pushed him into a deep gorge near the Wei Sawdong Falls. His body was found 10 days later, on June 2.

According to police, Raja was initially assaulted with a traditional machete—known locally as a “dao"—by Vishal Singh Chauhan, one of three men Sonam is accused of hiring for the killing. Investigators claim she witnessed the attack and fled as Raja screamed for help, returning only after he had died.
