Eastern Range DIG David NR Mark claims that Sonam and Raj had an illicit relationship. He had agreed to marry her under pressure from the family. According to the officer involved in the investigation, Raj used to call Sonam 'didi' for show. He used to take care of her like a wife. He had bought grocery items worth seven thousand rupees for Sonam.
New revelations are being made every day in the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case. On Thursday it was revealed that Sonam and Raj were in a relationship. Sonam came to Indore after Raja Raghuvanshi's murder. She hid in a rented room. During this time Raj also bought lentils and flour for her. This raises suspicion that Sonam had taken the room much earlier. Shillong Police interrogates the accused Sonam Raghuvanshi, Vishal alias Vicky, Anand Kurmi and Akash. All five accused are on eight-day police remand. The accused were playing the 'blame game' initially, but have broken down now.

When the police checked Raj's Paytm transaction details, it was revealed that he had purchased grocery items worth Rs 7,000 for Sonam.
Sonam had probably already rented the room and Raj had also delivered the luggage to the same room.
According to Sonam's brother Govind, Raj sat with me for three years and got Rakhi tied by Sonam.
He still does not believe it. According to the DIG, Sonam and Raj will be brought to Indore for verification during the remand period.
She stayed in Indore for about 14 days. After this, Raj sent her to Ghazipur by taxi (car).
