In Meghalaya's mystical valleys, Sonam's search now touches the realm of spirituality and mysticism. It has been 15 days, but there's no trace of Sonam Raghuvanshi. Meghalaya Police, NDRF, SDRF, and over 60 search team members scour the mountains, ravines, and jungles day and night, yet results remain elusive. Exhausted, Sonam's family in Indore has turned to a tantric remedy. They've hung Sonam's reversed photograph outside their home, hoping this ritual will pave the way for her return.
Demand for CBI Probe over SIT
Sonam's disappearance and Raja Raghuvanshi's suspicious death have clouded the case with deep conspiracy. Raja's body was found on June 2. Around the same time, a video surfaced showing Raja and Sonam on a scooter. Sonam wore a white shirt—the same scooter later found abandoned. Near Raja's body, there was also a white shirt. Is it the one Sonam wore? Could it be the key to Sonam's fate?
Astrological Prediction, Thread of Misfortune
Both Sonam and Raja are 'Mangliks'. Their astrologer advised against stepping out until June 5 post their May 11 wedding. Even Sonam's send-off was advised not before May 31. Yet, she left for her marital home three days after the wedding. The couple embarked on their honeymoon to Assam and then Meghalaya on May 20, and perhaps this haste invited the whirlwind in their destiny.
Disappeared since May 23, Body Found on June 2
Raja and Sonam's phones abruptly turned off on May 23. They were untraceable for the next three days. On May 26, their families arrived in Meghalaya. Their astrologer claimed they were held hostage in an old building with a blue board outside, forecasting their return by June 3. Raja was indeed found dead on June 2, but Sonam remains missing. Their astrologer initiated the practice of hanging her reversed photo outside her home.

Three Clues, One Question: Where is Sonam?
During the search operation, police recovered a raincoat with bloodstains. The family insists it's not Sonam's. The police speculate tourists often purchase raincoats from local markets, which Raja-Sonam likely did. However, the raincoat and white shirt still cloak the mystery.
Cross-Border Conspiracy? Abducted by Infiltrators?
The Bangladesh border is just 22 kilometers from Cherrapunji, unsecured by any fencing. On May 8, the East Khasi Hills DM advised that Bangladeshi infiltrators might plan looting and violence in the area. Hence, a night curfew was in place. Raja and Sonam stayed in this region. Could some force across the border play a role in this disappearance?

'Police Searching for Bodies, My Sister is Alive'
Sonam’s brother, Govind Raghuvanshi, alleges that Meghalaya Police is only searching for bodies despite his belief that his sister is alive and should be sought with that hope. Govind has faced threats in Meghalaya. His father, Devi Singh, has sent a few people from Indore to assist him.
Three-Month-Old Relationship, Engagement Two and a Half Months Ago
The relationship between Raja and Sonam stemmed from societal ties, both belonging to the Raghuvanshi community. Sonam graduated from Indore, and after her father suffered a paralytic stroke, her brother took over the business. Raja's family runs a travel business. Post-marriage, they planned to visit Kashmir, but due to terrorist attacks, they diverted to Guwahati and then Meghalaya.
