Sonam Raghuvanshi, Raj Kushwaha sent to 13 day judicial custody in Meghalaya murder case

The order of the court of the judicial magistrate first class in Shillong comes two days after the same court sent the three other accused — Akash Rajput, Vishal Singh Chauhan, and Anand Kurmi — to 14 days of judicial custody on Thursday.

All five accused had earlier been in police custody following their arrests between June 8 and 9 from different locations across Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.

With today’s order, the murder suspects will now be lodged in judicial custody as the Meghalaya Police continue to pursue crucial leads in a case that has stunned the nation.
