Ashok recalled, “He came with the kafan. I saw him standing behind me with a white cloth. At that time, I didn’t know Raja had been killed on someone’s instructions.” He further added that Raj acted innocent while secretly relaying information to Sonam.

Raja’s mother has also expressed her grief and suspicion, pointing to Raj’s presence and actions. She stated, “I saw in the video that it was Raj. The same hand he used to write a conspiracy against my son was now holding the white shawl for his last rites.” She questioned how he could be involved in her son’s death.

The family has also questioned Sonam’s role, mentioning the kundali (astrological) match arranged before the wedding. Raja’s mother said that the kundali, matched by astrologer N.K. Pandey, was later found in the temple area during house cleaning. The family has attempted to contact the astrologer to understand why he did not alert them of any issues.

Raja and Sonam had gone to Meghalaya for their honeymoon shortly after their wedding. After they went missing, Raja’s body was found in a highly decomposed state. Sonam fled the state and travelled through multiple states before reaching Indore. The grieving parents continue to seek answers about the truth behind their son’s tragic death.
