Meghalayan honeymoon turns murder: Police find murder weapon, wife still unaccounted for.

Meghalaya police have made a major breakthrough in the case of a missing honeymooning couple from Indore, recovering what they believe to be the murder weapon used in the killing of 29-year-old Raja Raghuvanshi. The freshly purchased dao—a traditional knife—was found during the investigation after Raja’s body was discovered in a deep gorge near Weisawdong Falls, eight days after he and his wife Sonam vanished during their trip to Sohra. District Police Chief Vivek Syiem confirmed the homicide, noting that the weapon appeared to have been bought specifically for the crime. Evidence collected at the scene, including fragments of a mobile phone, a smartwatch, and a woman’s shirt, suggests the couple may have been together during the incident. The ongoing search for Sonam continues, with authorities deploying drones and rescue teams despite challenging weather conditions. The case has raised serious concerns about tourist safety in Meghalaya, especially in the wake of a similar incident involving a foreign tourist earlier this year.
