Indore, June 10
The family of Raj Kushwaha, who has been accused as the alleged mastermind in the murder of Raja Raghuvanshi, has come out in his defence, asserting that he is innocent and incapable of committing such a crime.
On Monday, his family members said Raj, who is the only earning member in the household, was being falsely implicated and had no relationship with Sonam Raghuvanshi, Raja's wife, beyond a professional one.
Speaking to reporters, Raj's mother stated, "My son is innocent. The police just took him. The police are lying, and there is no truth in those claims. My son could never do that. He has the responsibility for his sisters. He used to work very hard. I do not believe any of this."
The family consists of Raj's mother and his three sisters, as his father passed away during the Covid-19 pandemic.
His sister also stood by him, saying, "I know my brother. He would never do such a thing. I also know Vishal; he is like my brother. They are both innocent, and they cannot do anything like this. All this is a lie."
She also dismissed the allegations about Raj's alleged affair with Sonam, stating, "They (Raj and Sonam) were not in any kind of relationship. How can they be? They were just like any employee and employer would be. I just want to say that my brother is not related to this case."
