The Meghalaya government has challenged the bail granted to Sonam Raghuvanshi, the prime accused in her husband Raja Raghuvanshi's murder, citing procedural lapses and the gravity of charges. The Meghalaya High Court issued a notice to Sonam, with a hearing set for May 12. Meanwhile, the Shillong session court reserved its verdict on bail pleas of four other suspects, including alleged mastermind Raj Kushwaha, who seek relief partly based on parity with Sonam's bail.
