The record
Written from the 7 reports below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Indore businessman Raja Raghuvanshi was murdered in Sohra, Meghalaya, during what was described as his 2025 honeymoon, prompting a major investigation by Meghalaya police.Investigators have filed a 790-page charge sheet naming five accused, including the victim's wife Sonam Raghuvanshi, who was subsequently granted bail by the High Court.
- The state challenged that release, and the Supreme Court of India has now cancelled Sonam's bail, ordering her to surrender within two to three weeks — with at least one report noting an earlier two-day show-cause window before the final surrender directive.
- The case has drawn nationwide attention as a high-profile 'honeymoon murder,' and the Supreme Court's intervention signals the court views the high court's bail grant as untenable given the evidence.
- Coverage across Indian outlets is uniform and neutral, focused on the procedural timeline rather than contested facts.
- What to watch is whether Sonam surrenders as directed, any further bail applications she may file, and when the trial court frames charges against all five accused.
What to watch next
- Sonam Raghuvanshi must surrender within 2-3 weeks or face arrest.
- All five accused await charge-framing in trial court.
- Supreme Court's bail cancellation signals strong view of evidence.
- Meghalaya police's 790-page charge sheet forms the trial's foundation.
