Raja Raghuvanshi was found murdered on May 23 in the scenic town of Sohra, Meghalaya. His wife, Sonam, who had been travelling with him, disappeared soon after. Police believe the apartment was arranged by her alleged lover, Raj Kushwaha. Sonam is thought to have stayed there, systematically destroying evidence before vanishing once again. The couple’s honeymoon ended in tragedy.
The video in question, recorded during Raja Raghuvanshi and Sonam’s wedding reception, captures the couple sharing laughs and light-hearted moments with the host and each other. At one point, the host asks them to repeat some playful vows — with Raja promising to take Sonam shopping every month.
When it was Sonam’s turn, the host asked her to repeat a vow allowing Raja to party and spend time with his friends without being questioned about his whereabouts.
Sonam laughingly refused, prompting the anchor to joke, “Raja bhai, tum to gaye (Raja bhai, you are gone).”
What began with joyful wedding vows has now unravelled into a chilling tale of betrayal, conspiracy, and cold-blooded murder — leaving behind only the remnants of a once-happy celebration and the haunting words: “Raja bhai… tum to gaye.”
