Supreme Court Offers Bail Options to Sonam Raghuvanshi in Honeymoon Murder CasePreviousNext

The Supreme Court is hearing the Meghalaya government's challenge to bail granted to Sonam Raghuvanshi, accused of murdering her husband Raja during their honeymoon in Meghalaya in 2025. The Court offered Sonam two options: either surrender to allow witness examination or await a decision on the bail appeal's merits. The Court questioned the delay in raising objections about her arrest and expressed doubts over a clerical error cited in the bail. The next hearing is scheduled for July 23.
