Family Of Meghalaya Honeymoon Murder Victim Names Newborn ‘Raja,’ Calls It His Return

The family’s claim of rebirth has renewed focus on an active murder case.

Overview

  • The Raghuvanshi family welcomed a baby boy they named Raja and say he is the slain brother reborn, pointing to a Kamakhya priest’s words and the matching Ekadashi timing.
  • A video by sister Shrasti saying “Raja has returned” went viral and drew sharp criticism on X from users who accused the family of chasing attention.
  • Raja Raghuvanshi, an Indore businessman, went missing during a honeymoon in Meghalaya and was found in June 2025 in a deep gorge near Wei Sawdong Falls after a large search effort.
  • Police allege a plot involving wife Sonam Raghuvanshi, her alleged partner Raj Kushwaha, and three hired men, and they filed a 790‑page chargesheet in September 2025 naming five accused.
  • Sonam remains in judicial custody after a court denied her bail in February 2026, and the criminal case is ongoing.
