'Missing' wife caught in Ghazipur
Indore tourist Raja Raghuvanshi and his wife Sonam went missing during their honeymoon in the Meghalaya on May 23. On June 2, the husband's body was found in a gorge at Sohrarim near Cherapunji in the northeastern state.
Sonam, who had been missing for 17 days, was found at a roadside eatery in Ghazipur in Uttar Pradesh. Her father has confirmed the news. "One person was picked up from UP, and another two accused were apprehended from Indore by the SIT," the Meghalaya DGP said.
She said that the operation was still ongoing in Madhya Pradesh to apprehend additional individuals involved in the crime.
Three men had accompanied the couple on the day they went missing
A tourist guide, Albert Pde, in Meghalaya had told the police that the honeymooners from Indore were accompanied by three men on the day they went missing.
According to Pde, he saw the couple with the three men climbing over 3,000 steps from Nongriat to Mawlakhiat around 10 am on May 23. He recognised the couple from the previous day, when he had offered his services to guide them down to Nongriat, but they had declined and hired another guide.
"The four men were walking ahead while the woman was behind. The four men were conversing in Hindi but I could not understand what they were speaking as I know only Khasi and English," Pde said.
