Recent updates indicate that Sonam's cousin, Jitendra Raghuvanshi, is also under police scanner as his UPI account was allegedly used to pay the first installment to the hitmen. Police are also investigating if Sonam intended to elope with a "mysterious third person" after the murder and had purchased a flat in Indore as a hideout. Sonam initially tried to portray herself as a victim of robbery but reportedly broke down and confessed when confronted with evidence, including CCTV footage, call records, and physical evidence from the crime scene. Her brother has also publicly stated he is "100% sure" of her involvement and has severed ties with her, vowing to fight for justice for Raja.
