“Yesterday, Sonam Raghuvanshi was in Ghazipur. This afternoon, we arrested another accused from the Sagar district. One person has been detained from Nandgarh. These people committed the crime on May 23, and left soon after," he said.

She had gone missing after her husband’s body was found in a gorge near the Weisawdong Falls parking area in East Khasi Hills on 2 June. Police traced her to Ghazipur district in Uttar Pradesh, where she surrendered at the Nandganj police station late on Sunday night.

Raghuvanshi’s family has strongly denied the murder charges against her. Her father, Devi Singh, insists she is innocent and has demanded a CBI inquiry into the case.
