Sonam Raghuvanshi, the prime accused in the murder case of her husband Raja Raghuvanshi, has tested negative for pregnancy, her medical tests revealed early on Wednesday.

The development was confirmed after she was brought to Ganesh Das hospital for medical examination in Shillong in Meghalaya.

Sonam is in a three-day transit remand with Meghalaya Police.

On Tuesday, Meghalaya Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong informed that the four accused involved in the murder of Raja Raghuvanshi were being transported to Shillong.

Raja Raghuvanshi and Sonam had got married on May 10 in Madhya Pradesh’s Indore, and had arrived in Meghalaya for their honeymoon on May 20.

On May 23, the two were reported missing, leading the state police to launch a manhunt.

A male body was found in a gorge in Cherrapunji on June 2. Later, it was established that the body was of Raja Raghuvanshi, and that a gold chain and a gold ring were missing from his body.

Search for his wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, continued.
