**Tragic Trek: Last Video of Raja Raghuvanshi Before Murder Surfaces**
A video has emerged showing Raja Raghuvanshi and his wife Sonam trekking through a forest trail in Meghalaya, just hours before Raja was allegedly murdered in a premeditated scheme involving his wife and her lover. YouTuber Devender Singh, who was visiting the renowned Double Decker Root Bridge in Cherrapunji’s Nongriat village on May 23, inadvertently captured the couple in one of his travel videos. After reviewing his footage, Singh shared the clip, describing it as the “last known video” of the couple from Indore.
In the video, recorded around 9:45 AM, Sonam is seen leading the way while carrying a polythene bag, possibly containing a raincoat, as Raja walks a few steps behind her. Singh noted that Raja appeared normal and completely unaware of the tragic events that were about to unfold. He expressed hope that the footage could assist Meghalaya Police in piecing together the timeline of events.
According to police reports, Raja and Sonam checked out from Shipra Homestay between 5:30 and 6:00 AM on May 23 before embarking on their trek. Tragically, Raja was allegedly killed later that day, with his body discovered days later in a 1,000-foot-deep gorge. The couple had married in Indore on May 11 and arrived in Meghalaya for their honeymoon on May 21. They were reported missing from Sohra (Cherrapunji) on May 23, and Raja’s body was recovered on June 2.
A week after the incident, Sonam was arrested in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh. During interrogation, she confessed to the murder and implicated her boyfriend, Raj Kushwaha, along with three others—Vishal Chauhan, Anand Kurmi, and Akash Rajput—as co-conspirators. All were subsequently arrested by Indore Police.
This tragic case highlights the complexities of relationships and the potential for betrayal, leaving many to ponder the circumstances that led to such a devastating outcome.
