Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Saturday requested Union Home Minister Amit Shah to order a CBI probe into the disappearance of an Indore woman in Meghalaya, reported PTI.
According to the details, the Indore newly married couple—Raja Raghuvanshi and Sonam—travelled to Meghalaya for their honeymoon on 20 May and went missing on 23 May.
Though Raja’s body was found with wounds inflicted by a machete, the whereabouts of Soman is still uncertain. Despite a Special Investigation Team being formed to look into the incident, no arrests have been made so far.
Taking to X, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav wrote, “In this hour of crisis, Madhya Pradesh stands with Mrs. Sonam Raghuvanshi and her family. I have discussed this matter with the Chief Minister of Meghalaya. Senior police officers from Madhya Pradesh are in constant contact with Meghalaya officials. I have requested the Honorable Union Home Minister, Shri @AmitShah ji, to order a CBI investigation in this case. Every possible effort is being made for the safe return of Mrs. Sonam Raghuvanshi.”
Expressing his thankfulness to CM Mohan Yadav, Sonam Raghuvanshi’s brother Vipin said, as PTI quoted, “I would like to thank the Chief Minister, Mohan Yadav, for supporting us. The Madhya Pradesh government is providing us all the assistance. Only the activa owner, who is a resident of Odisha, is being questioned. Nobody else is being questioned. The locals haven’t been questioned yet. Do the police there only work for money? The Meghalaya government is providing the assistance, though.”
