The Sonam Raghuvanshi honeymoon murder case reached its climax as all four accused confessed to the crime, revealing the full conspiracy. Early morning reports disclosed that Sonam had negotiated a 20 lakh rupee contract killing just three days after her wedding, with chat messages showing her expressing disgust at physical intimacy with her husband Raja. Police revealed she actively participated in the murder, shouting "kill him" to the attackers and helping dispose of the body.
The investigation, dubbed "Operation Honeymoon," involved 120 officers across three states over 16 days. Evidence emerged that her father had deposited the murder money into her account, while her lover Raj Kushwaha had consoled Raja's family at the funeral knowing his role in the conspiracy.
