As part of the probe, the Meghalaya Police also brought all the accused — including Raja Raghuvanshi’s wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi — to Sohra, about 65 km from Shillong, where they recreated the crime scene under tight security, Hindustan Times earlier reported.

Raja Raghuvanshi was hacked to death in a parking lot near Weisawdong Falls and his body was dumped in a nearby gorge in Sohra area in East Khasi Hills district on May 23.

Raja and his wife, Sonam, were on their honeymoon when he was killed allegedly by three hitmen – Vishal, Anand and Akash - sent by her boyfriend Raj Kushwaha, who is also one of the arrested people.

Although Raj Kushwaha is the mastermind of the murder, he did not come to Meghalaya.

There were chilling details of the murder that emerged after the recreation of the crime scene, in which one policeman acted as Raja Raghuvanshi.
