Amid the ongoing investigation into the murder of Raja Raghuvanshi, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) has recovered the missing jewellery the couple took to Meghalaya. The jewellery has been recovered from Madhya Pradesh’s Ratlam.

Other items related to Sonam have also been recovered, including her laptop and pen drive, from the house of the in-laws of an Indore-based property dealer, Silome James, reported NDTV.

The development comes days after the SIT team arrested property dealer Silome James, who had leased out the flat to Vishal, one of the hitmen, where he let Sonam and Raj stay.

Sonam also took the jewellery and other items to the Indore flat with her.

East Khasi Hills SP Vivek Syiem had earlier confirmed that James was the lessee of the building at Heera Bagh Colony in Indore, where Sonam had stayed and stored valuables.

The jewellery box, later burnt by James, is believed to hold key evidence linked to the murder, according to PTI sources.

An SIT member revealed that Sonam’s boyfriend, Raj Kushwaha, had also kept a pistol, jewellery, and a laptop in the flat, which was rented by murder co-accused Vishal Chauhan. The flat was leased by James on May 30 for Rs 17,000 per month.

However, the SIT team has found no trace of the pistol, laptop, or jewellery at the site where the box was allegedly burned.
