The shocking murder case of transport businessman Raja Raghuvanshi has taken a sensational turn with the emergence of a video purportedly showing Raj Kushwaha, the alleged lover of Raja's wife Sonam Raghuvanshi, displaying a facade of grief at Raja's funeral. Both Sonam and Raj have been arrested in connection with Raja's murder.

The video, which is believed to be from the day of Raja's last rites, depicts Raj Kushwaha consoling Raja's father-in-law, Devi Singh. In the footage, Raj appears visibly emotional, seemingly overwhelmed by sorrow, giving the impression that he has lost a loved one. However, police investigations have revealed a starkly different reality: Raj, in complicity with Sonam, allegedly orchestrated Raja's murder.

The chilling hypocrisy captured in the video has left people stunned. That the same individual who allegedly conspired in Raja's demise would later stand by the deceased's funeral pyre, offering condolences and sympathy to the grieving family, has sparked widespread disbelief. The police are now set to include this video as crucial evidence in their ongoing investigation.

Authorities have stated that Sonam and Raj jointly plotted Raja's murder. They reportedly hired contract killers who took Raja to a secluded location in Shillong and murdered him. This newly surfaced video has become a significant piece of evidence in the case, clearly indicating Raj's cunning deception and his efforts to mislead Raja's family even after the crime.

Family's Disbelief and Raj's Background

Meanwhile, Raj's family has expressed disbelief at the allegations, with his mother and sister reportedly inconsolable. Neighbors, too, voiced their shock, stating they never imagined Raj capable of such an act. Raj, originally from Fatehpur near Kanpur, has been living in a rented house in Indore for ten years with his family. His father passed away in May 2020 due to COVID-19, and Raj reportedly earns between ₹15,000 and ₹20,000 per month.

The tragic sequence of events began when Sonam and Raja traveled to Shillong for their honeymoon. Raja's body was discovered in the forests of Shillong on May 23rd, plunging his family into profound grief, which was later compounded by the shocking revelations of the conspiracy.
