Shillong, June 24: Meghalaya police have claimed that Raj Kushwaha, the alleged lover of Sonam Raghuvanshi, had his own company besides Sonam.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, East Khasi Hills SP Vivek Syiem said the police have ascertained that Sonam and her lover Raj were in a relationship and have their own companies and wanted to further their businesses.
“These are the only things which are apparently be in the interest of getting rid of Raja because they want to further their business and they are in a relationship. Nothing beyond this has come out,” he said.
Earlier, the police had said Raj was only an employee of Sonam which contradicts the new claim.
“We have unravelled this case and it is our endeavour to build evidence and that is why it is not only statement of admission but it is building evidence against those statements.”
The SP expressed confidence that police will be able to file chargesheet at the earliest.
On the demand for narco analysis, Syiem said he doesn’t see the need for such analysis at this stage.
“Narco analysis is actually banned by the Supreme Court. Narco test is not admissible in court. It will just give us an idea or a clue from there. When they have already admitted to the crime, we have done reconstruction, we have recorded the evidence at the place of occurence, I don’t see why we should go for narco analysis at this stage,” he said.
