Sonam Raghuvanshi Case: The Chilling Story Of MBA Aspirant To Mastermind Behind Her Husband's Murder

Sonam Raghuvanshi got married to her husband, Raja Raghuvanshi in May 2025. Soon after, the couple left for their honeymoon in Meghalaya. However, only one of them returned back alive. Sonam and her alleged boyfriend, Raj Kushwaha, have turned out to be the prime accused in the murder of Raja, and as new information comes out, the case becomes more and more heartwrenching. Now, a latest news report has alleged that Sonam aspired to take her father's business to the next level. So, what happened, that a young woman became a cold-blooded mastermind behind the murder of her own husband?

Sonam Raghuvanshi wanted to pursue a degree in MBA 

According to a recent report by Business Today, Sonam Raghuvanshi was aspiring to get her MBA. However, things went south after she was married, resulting in the death of her husband, Raja Raghuvanshi. What started as a romantic getaway, turned into a nightmare for Raja and his family. The reports have claimed that the accused used the cover of a newlywed to take her husband away and later orchestrated the murder of Raja with the help of four assailants, including Raj Kushwaha, Vicky Thakur, Akash and Anand. 

Were the no-return tickets supposed to be a clue for Raja Raghuvanshi that there was a horrifying incident coming his way? While there is no answer to that, the reports have revealed that Sonam might not have always been a mastermind. The 24-year-old had a dream of pursuing an MBA and making a breakthrough in her father's plywood business. Instead, her hands were now covered in the blood of her husband instead of the dreams that once lit her up. 

Sonam Raghuvanshi was raised in an extremely strict household, where even going to the movies was forbidden. In a cage of rules and restrictions, the factory was her only escape. However, things changed when she decided to rebel against the rules. Unfortunately for Raja Raghuvanshi and his family, it came at the cost of his life. According to reports, Sonam's marriage to Raja was based on biodata compatibility, samaj and a hasty family. For Sonam, there was no courtship period or consent, to which she responded by committing a heinous crime.

Sonam Raghuvanshi convinced Raj Kushwaha to be her accomplice 

One might wonder how Raj Kushwaha got involved in the story of Sonam Raghuvanshi's rebellion. Well, Raj worked on the same floor as her in Sonam's father's factory at the billing desk. The two spent a lot of time interacting, which led to him becoming her secret lover and later her co-conspirator. Their love remained invisible to the families until it was too late. According to the police, Sonam had planned an eerily cinematic death for her husband, Raja Raghuvanshi.

Sonam was going to showcase the murder as a robbery and later play a grieving widow, while openly living with her lover, Raj. According to her relatives, Sonam was unusually quiet at her wedding. Some called her subdued, while others recall her being detached. She further insisted her husband, Raja Raghuvanshi, wore all the expensive jewellery on the trip, despite Raja's mother's warning against it.
