After Raja Raghuvanshi, another girl dies mysteriously
in the same place...
Hey hey,
Hope your week is off to a smooth start (or at least better than Meghalaya Police’s PR situation right now).
Because while most of us were planning our next vacation in the hills, two tragic cases have happened there.
Let’s unpack the latest…
📌 A quick recap
On 3rd June, a day after Raja Raghuvanshi’s body was found in a gorge in Cherrapunji, Meghalaya Police identified his wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, as the prime suspect in what they dubbed ‘Operation Honeymoon.’
Just days into their marriage, Sonam allegedly plotted Raja’s murder with help from her lover and hired killers.
He followed the newlyweds from Guwahati to Shillong, where Raja was killed on May 23. His body was discovered on June 2.
Investigators grew suspicious as the couple took no honeymoon photos. A 120-member police force, including 20 core officers, cracked the case through raids and forensic clues like bloodied clothes and abandoned raincoats.
Sonam fled to Indore and later surrendered in Uttar Pradesh.
All conspirators, including her lover Raj Kushwaha, who planned the murder remotely, are now in custody.
📌 Now, on to the death of Namrata Bora…
Just a day after the shock of Sonam Raghuvanshi’s arrest in a honeymoon horror case, Meghalaya is once again under the spotlight, this time for the suspicious death of 25-year-old law intern, Namrata Bora.
Coming from Assam’s Golaghat district, Namrata was reportedly involved in a road accident near Nongpoh, Ri-Bhoi, while returning from Shillong with four others. But her family isn’t buying the “accident” story.
Namrata had been traveling with Anayatul Wadud (an AIUDF youth leader and son of an MLA), Mriganka Bora, Pragya Dihingia, and Gayatri Bora. The car they were in crashed around 4:15 AM, killing Namrata on the spot.
While the others escaped with minor injuries, Namrata was declared dead at Nongpoh Civil Hospital.
Her family, however, suspects foul play.
Her father, Ramen Bora, also questioned several details:
Why did she leave her iPhone behind?
Why was she wearing casual clothes, unlike her usual outing attire?
Why didn’t the friends inform the family directly about the accident?
Namrata’s brother has filed FIRs both in Meghalaya and Assam, naming all four companions as suspects.
The Meghalaya Police have detained them for questioning and conducted a post-mortem.
Meanwhile, the Chief Ministers of Assam and Meghalaya have both stepped in, with Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma demanding a “detailed inquiry” and Meghalaya’s CM ordering the police to expedite the investigation.
As her family grieves and presses for answers, the eerie similarities with the Raghuvanshi case have left the public shaken.
Is it just a tragic coincidence or something far more sinister?
The truth, hopefully, lies just around the corner.
