Raja Raghuvanshi Murder Case Latest News: In a chilling new development in the murder case of Raja Raghuvanshi, his mother on Wednesday levied sensational allegations against her daughter-in-law and the prime accused, Sonam Raghuvanshi.
According to Raja Raghuvanshi’s mother, Sonam may have performed black magic and a possible human sacrifice. She also claimed certain astrological factors may have been at the centre of the murder conspiracy.

The Indore-based couple had got married on May 11 and had arrived in Meghalaya on May 20 for their honeymoon.
BLACK MAGIC, ‘VASHIKARAN’: RAJA RAGHUVANSHI’S MOTHER MAKES BIG CLAIMS
Raja Raghuvanshi’s mother has alleged that Sonam had performed ‘tantrik kriyas‘ (black magic rituals) on Raja and even on other members of the family.
“Sonam had done something like a spell, a ‘vashikaran‘, on all of us,” she said.
“People used to talk about it, but we never believed them. Now we’re seeing the truth with our own eyes,” she added.
She further claimed that the couple visited the Kamakhya Devi Temple in Assam’s Guwahati, and ever since, Sonam asked Raja Raghuvanshi to wear a necklace, allegedly associated with black magic rituals.

HUMAN SACRIFICE SUSPICION
Raja Raghuvanshi’s mother further stated that Raja was killed on ‘Gyaras‘ — the 11th day of the lunar fortnight — a date considered significant in certain spiritual traditions, and suspected that Sonam may have planned a human sacrifice.
“It seems she had the intent of offering a human sacrifice,” she alleged.
‘MANGLIK DOSH’ IGNORED, ALLEGES RAJA RAGHUVANSHI’s MOTHER
Delving into the couple’s astrological compatibility, Raja’s mother revealed that both Raja and Sonam’s ‘kundalis‘ (a term used for birth chart in Vedic Astrology) had ‘Manglik dosh‘, a condition in Hindu astrology believed to bring misfortune if not addressed through specific rituals.
“Rituals were required, but they were never performed. Now I fear Sonam used it as a cover for her sinister plan,” Raja Raghuvanshi’s mother said.
Echoing her, Raja Raghuvanshi’s father also said Sonam had ‘Mangal dosh‘, and that she could not have executed the plan alone.
“If strict questioning is done with Sonam Raghuvanshi, many facts of the case will be out. A lady cannot do this alone. Other people must be involved in this. She had a ‘mangal dosh’, and he thought of killing her husband and marrying someone else,” Ashok Raghuvanshi, father of Raja Raghuvanshi, said.
“My son was very innocent,” he added.

WIDER CONSPIRACY SUSPECTED
Raja Raghuvanshi’s mother also suspected there may be at least 15 people involved in the murder conspiracy, and believed that Sonam did not act alone.
She also alleged that Sonam Raghuvanshi’s mother may have been aware of the plan.
“Sonam’s mother must have known everything,” she said.
GREED, DECEPTION, AND LOVE TRIANGLE
Speaking further, Raja Raghuvanshi‘s mother accused Sonam of plotting to eliminate Raja in order to marry another man, Raj Kushwaha.
“Their wedding had just taken place a month ago (May 11). We were all so happy,” she said, still in shock.
“But Sonam had already decided to remove Raja from her path,” she added.
She also pointed out that Sonam conducted much of her planning through her mobile phone, and did not even book a return ticket after taking Raja to Kamakhya, suggesting a premeditated plan.
“She (Sonam Raghuvanshi) knew what ‘tantric‘ rituals are done there. She took Raja under the pretence of a ‘mannat‘ (wish) and never planned to return with him,” Raja Raghuvanshi’s mother alleged.
According to the mother, Raja handled all the financial matters and accounts.
“These young people killed Raja out of greed. He was the one who managed all the money,” she claimed.
The murder case of Raja Raghuvanshi sent shockwaves across the country after his body was found in a gorge in Meghalaya, where he, along with his wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, had gone for their honeymoon.
While Raja’s body was identified, Sonam remained missing.
She was traced in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghazipur during the early hours of June 9, and claimed that she was drugged, abducted, and abandoned.
As she was arrested, the police refuted her claims and said she had surrendered before them.
Alongside Sonam, the police also arrested four others, including Raj Kushwaha, who the police claim is Sonam’s lover.
