Indore, June 23
Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Meghalaya Police, which is campaigning in Indore, have arrested two more accused in the Raja Raghuvanshi’s murder case as the investigation deepens.
An official identified the accused as Silome James, a property dealer and tenant of a building in Indore’s Heera Bagh Colony, where Sonam Raghuvanshi had stayed after returning from Meghalaya following the murder, and Balla Ahirwar, a security guard of the building.
They were arrested for allegedly helping the prime accused, Sonam Raghuvanshi, the deceased’s wife, and her alleged boyfriend, Raj Kushwaha, in disposing of evidence.
"Both accused have been taken into a seven-day transit remand by Meghalaya police for further investigation. The accused have been brought to Indore, and the probe is ongoing," Additional DCP, Indore, Rajesh Dandotia, told.
Dandotia denied sharing further details about the ongoing investigation, saying that Indore police are only assisting Meghalaya Police.
“The SIT will stay for a few more days in Indore as the investigation is still incomplete. Seven people have been arrested so far. Meghalaya Police had arrived in Indore on June 17, and they will stay here until their investigation is completed,” said Dandotia.
