Sonam’s telephone calls: New angle in the caseThe visit by the police team from the northeastern state assumes significance after the Meghalaya DGP Idashisha Nongrang said on Monday that the investigators probing the murder of Indore businessman Raja Raghuvanshi in Sohra (Cherrapunjee) were not treating the love triangle as the only motive, but are also looking into various other angles. “We are investigating whether there is anything more to this case,” the DGP had said.Amid the ongoing investigations, a novel development related to Sonam’s telephonic conversations over the last few months has come to the fore.As per informed sources, Sonam had talked over 100 times with someone on a mobile phone number registered in the name of Sanjay Verma. The conversations took place 100-120 times in less than a month in March-April. “Though that telephone number is registered in Sanjay Verma’s name, the possibility of the number being used by Raj Kushwaha to connect with Sonam cannot be ruled out,” a source added.One of the initial clues which guided the SIT to Sonam and Raj was the long telephonic conversations between the two of them, particularly between May 15 and May 17.This latest telephonic conversation between Sonam and someone talking through a phone number registered in Sanjay Verma’s name may well throw a new angle in the case.With the Meghalaya DGP maintaining that the probe is covering all possible angles, it also remains to be seen whether the investigators zero down upon the suspected hawala transactions linked to Sonam’s family business and use of benami accounts, particularly bank accounts held in her cousin Jitendra Raghuvanshi’s name, for major money transactions.Sonam and Raj along with three henchmen were arrested from MP and UP on June 8 and 9 in connection with Raja Raghuvanshi’s killing near a waterfall in Sohra (Cherrapunjee) on May 23, just 12 days after Sonam and Raja’s marriage in Indore. The 29-year-old Raja’s body was found in a gorge on June 2.
