Raja Raghuvanshi And Sonam Case: Chum Darang Speaks On Northeast Being Blamed, 'Breaks My Heart..'

The murder of Indore-based businessman, Raja Raghuvanshi in Meghalaya during his honeymoon has shaken the nation. His wife, Sonam, who had been missing since the fatal attack on the victim, was recently found and is the main suspect along with four others. The case is riddled with many twists and turns; however, before Sonam was caught, many people had started blaming locals and the state authority of Meghalaya. Tourism in the region was also being affected. Actress and model, Chum Darang, who is a Northeast Indian herself, took to her social media handle and spoke up about the case and the blame that was put on Meghalaya and the Northeastern region. 

Chum Darang addressed the recent Raja Raghuvanshi murder case 

Chum Darang of Bigg Boss 18 fame, recently took to her Instagram handle and posted a story on the murder case of Raja Raghuvanshi. Like everyone else who has come across this disheartening crime, the actress expressed that she was shaken beyond words. Chum said that everyone must have been worried about the 'wife' who was missing since the incident took place, but she had never thought that the wife could allegedly be the one who planned the whole ordeal. In her own words, the actress had penned down:

"This Raja Raghuvanshi case had me shook beyond words. I am sure everyone was worried for the 'wife' after the news of Raja being found. But never did I think she would be behind all this. Breaks my heart."

Chum Darang condemns those who had blamed the Northeastern region for the crime 

Raja Raghuvanshi was murdered in Meghalaya during his honeymoon, while his wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, had gone missing. After the case gained the national spotlight, many people started blaming the locals of Meghalaya. The northeastern region was also accused of being unhospitable to tourists, which badly hit their tourism industry. But now, as the victim's wife, her alleged boyfriend and three contract killers have been apprehended as the main suspects in the crime, Chum Darang has condemned those who had blamed the region and the locals. 

Chum Darang penned down on her Instagram story targeting those who had put the blame on "the locals, the state, the region, to find out what?" The actress further stated that it isn't as if crimes do not take place in the Northeastern part of India, but it isn't right to directly point fingers at the people either. Chum wrote in her Insta story: 

“Also, I saw a lot of people were blaming the locals, the state, the region, to find out what? I am not saying NE states mein crime hota nehi hai, but sidha logon pe ungli uthana acchi baat nehi hai."
