Raja Raghuvanshi Case Twist: Indore Man Handed To Meghalaya Police For 3 Days

Digital Desk: In a significant development in the Raja Raghuvanshi murder probe, Meghalaya police have secured a 3-day remand of a man identified as Lokendra Singh Tomar, owner of the Indore flat where Raja’s wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, reportedly stayed after fleeing from Meghalaya.
 
Tomar was arrested on Monday from a flat in Gwalior's Gandhi Nagar neighborhood after Indore's DCP (Crime) coordinated with the local authorities. 

According to sources, Tomar is accused of aiding in the destruction and hiding of critical evidence related to the murder. V. Syiem, Superintendent of Police in the East Khasi Hills, had previously confirmed Tomar was wanted in the murder. 

However, Tomar denies any link to the murder. “I am aware of allegations. I had given my flat on rent in Indore. I do not know anyone in this case. The bag being talked about was not with me. Apart from this, nothing has been recovered from me. I used to talk only to James,” he stated to the reporters while he was being escorted by police.

Eight people, including Sonam Kushwaha, three contract killers, and others allegedly involved in evidence hiding, have been arrested so far in the case. The current suspect to be arrested is Lokendra Singh Tomar. 

The high-profile case has stirred major attention in Meghalaya, with pressure mounting on authorities for a swift and transparent investigation.
