The Sonam Raghuvanshi honeymoon murder case reached its emotional climax when her own brother Govind visited Raja's family, embraced his mother while crying, and demanded his sister receive the death penalty. This followed Sonam's formal confession to orchestrating her husband's murder after police arranged a psychological confrontation. The Shillong court granted 8-day police custody despite the prosecution seeking 10 days.
Forensic evidence provided the breakthrough - blood stains on Sonam's raincoat and accomplice Akash's shirt confirmed their direct involvement in the killing. Police revealed Sonam had thrown Raja's body into the gorge herself, with her mangalsutra helping crack the case.
