IIE DIGITAL DESK : The dramatic turn of events surrounding the mysterious murder of a Delhi-based man, Sonam Raghuvanshi, the wife of the deceased, has claimed she was abducted and later abandoned in Ghazipur, even as police arrested her in connection with the killing. Her startling statement came shortly after law enforcement officials confirmed her detention in what is now being treated as a carefully orchestrated crime.

The murder case involves the killing of Vivek Raghuvanshi, who was found dead under suspicious circumstances in the national capital. His sudden and brutal death triggered an intense investigation by the Delhi Police, which led them to track down Sonam Raghuvanshi, who had mysteriously disappeared following her husband's death.

According to police sources, Sonam was found in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, several days after the murder. Upon being taken into custody, she claimed that she had been abducted by unidentified men and left in Ghazipur against her will. “I was abducted and later dumped in Ghazipur,” Sonam told the investigators during preliminary questioning. Her statement, however, has been met with skepticism, as the police probe suggests otherwise.

Investigators revealed that the crime appears to have been premeditated and that Sonam might have had a significant role in the planning and execution. Reports suggest that Sonam, along with one or more accomplices, could have orchestrated the murder due to ongoing marital discord and financial disputes. While the full details are yet to emerge, the police are currently analyzing call records, surveillance footage, and digital evidence to understand the sequence of events.

The case took a dramatic twist when Sonam vanished following her husband’s murder. Her sudden disappearance raised multiple red flags. Law enforcement initially feared that she could have been a victim herself, but doubts surfaced as inconsistencies began to appear in the timeline she had provided.

"She gave a narrative of abduction, but it lacks consistency with our findings so far," said a senior police officer involved in the investigation. "We are still cross-verifying her statement, but preliminary evidence points towards her direct involvement."

The couple’s relationship had reportedly been troubled for some time. Close friends and relatives told police that there were frequent arguments between them, primarily centered around money matters and Sonam’s alleged extramarital relationship, which is also being probed as a possible motive.

Vivek’s family has also made serious allegations against Sonam, accusing her of being manipulative and having planned the murder to eliminate him and seize control of his property and finances. They have demanded a thorough investigation and harsh punishment for everyone involved.

Sonam remains in police custody as investigators continue to question her and others who may have had a role in the crime. The police are also exploring whether more individuals were involved in the alleged abduction or if it was merely a ploy to mislead the investigation.

This chilling case has gripped public attention due to its dramatic developments, emotional complexity, and the shocking involvement of a wife in her husband’s murder. As the investigation deepens, more layers of deceit and betrayal are expected to unfold.

The authorities have assured that a transparent and speedy inquiry will be conducted. Legal proceedings are set to begin soon, and if sufficient evidence is found, Sonam Raghuvanshi could face serious charges, including murder and criminal conspiracy.
