Guide’s Statement Becomes Turning Point in Meghalaya Honeymoon Murder Case.
Meghalaya local guide Albert Pde’s statement ne case ko break kar diya hai. Police investigation jaise-jaise agge badhi, shocking truth saamne aye, Meghalaya police ke mutabiq, Sonam ne hi apne husband Raja ka murder plan kiya tha — information ke according issme soman ke saath uska boyfriend and three contact killers shamil the, sonam ne plan ke according raja ko trial par laya waha phle se hi contact killers present the. Ye guide ke statement ne confirm kar diya, Guide ne phle couple ko guide karne se reject kar diya tha fir next day guide ne Raja and Sonam ke saath teen other persons ko deekha and confirm kara ke sonam ke saath 3 log aur the unhone raja ko gorge me gira diya and sonam jwellery leker UP farrar ho gyi. 1 june ko Sonam ne Ghazipur (UP) mein surrender kara and police ke samne sari murder conspiracy accept kari , at recent police ne lover and two killers ko arrest kiya hai.
Sonam ka pre planned murder conspiracy acceptance ke baad bhi Raja ki family ne CBI inquiry ki demand kari he, because unko lagta he ki murder plan honeymoon ke phle freedom ke liye nhi sonam ne marriage bhi planned ki thi ttaki raja ka morder karke money and freedom dono mil sake
Halaki Sonam ke Dad ne police par hal hi baised investigation ka accusation lagaya hai and kaha meri “beti ko fasaya ja rha he” but sare evidences sonam ke opposite hai, Filhal Meghalaya police ne Special Investigation Team (SIT) banayi takki sab investigation Non-biased way se ho and guilty ko punish kiya jaye and non-guilty and Raja ko justice mile, agar sonam guilty proof hoti hai to kon-kon se section ke under punish kiya jayega
- 1. IPC Section 302- Murder
- 2.IPC Section 120B- criminal conspiracy
- 3.IPC Section 34- Common Intention
- 4.(Supportive) IPC 201, IPC 212, IPC 411
Sonam, in defence, says she was drugged and abducted, but this statement is meaningless in front of the evidence which the opposition had and some questions which doesn’t have answers
