Meerut ‘snakebite’ murder case: Woman, her friend get death sentence

In the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case in Indore, Uma Raghuvanshi, the victim's mother, has demanded the death penalty for Sonam Raghuvanshi and five others accused of the crime. Uma cited the recent Meerut Blue Drum murder case, where Muskan Rastogi and Sahil Shukla received the death penalty for killing Saurabh Rajput and hiding his body in a blue drum filled with sand, as a reference for the court to deliver a swift and severe verdict.

Uma believes that Sonam planned a major conspiracy and that all the suspects should receive the death penalty. The victim, Raja Raghuvanshi, was found dead in a gorge near Sohra, Meghalaya, on June 2, 2025, while on his honeymoon. His wife, Sonam, was later found on the Varanasi-Ghazipur highway. The police recreated the crime scene with the suspects in Meghalaya.
