He also confirmed that Sonam used to tie rakhi to co-accused Raj Kushwaha, with whom she allegedly had an affair.

¡°According to the evidence found so far, I am 100% sure she has committed this murder,¡± Govind said while addressing the media in Indore. ¡°All the accused in this case are related to Raj Kushwaha. We have broken our ties with Sonam Raghuvanshi. I apologise to Raja¡¯s family,¡± he added.

Family breaks ties, demands justice

The rakhi connection: ¡®used to call her didi¡¯

Govind also shed light on the nature of Sonam¡¯s relationship with Raj Kushwaha. According to him, Kushwaha referred to Sonam as ¡°didi¡± (elder sister) and that Sonam had tied rakhi to him every year for the past three years. ¡°Raj Kushwaha always used to call her ¡®didi¡¯. For the last three years, she has been tying rakhi to him,¡± he stated.

Murder during honeymoon in Meghalaya

Sonam and Raja had gone to Meghalaya for their honeymoon in May. They were reported missing on May 23, and Raja¡¯s body was discovered in a gorge on June 2. Sonam resurfaced in Uttar Pradesh¡¯s Ghazipur last week, claiming she had been drugged and kidnapped. The police have dismissed these claims.

Vipin Raghuvanshi, brother of the deceased, also spoke out, saying that Govind had contacted him to confess his sister¡¯s role in the murder. ¡°He told me that his sister should be hanged for the mistake she made,¡± Vipin said.
