Raja Raghuvanshi Murder Mystery: Shillong SIT arrests two individuals, including a property dealer and a security guard, in the Raja Raghuvanshi murder Mystery. They’ve been placed on transit remand until June 28. Two More Arrested in Raja Raghuvanshi Murder Case
June 23, 2025 | Shillong’s Special Investigation Team has arrested two more suspects in Indore in connection with the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case, bringing the total to seven accused so far. A local property dealer, Silom James, and security guard Balveer Ahirwar have been accused of helping destroy key evidence.
Evidence Concealment and Transit Remand
These arrests came after investigators discovered a rented flat in Heera Bagh where Sonam, the prime accused, had allegedly hidden a bag containing jewellery, a pistol, and a laptop. Silom James, who leased the flat to a co-accused, confessed to transporting this bag and burning its contents. The two men have been granted transit remand until June 28, and are expected to be taken to Shillong for further questioning.
Forensics teams conducted a thorough sweep of the burn site in Dewas district but found no recoverable items—the jewellery, pistol, and laptop appear completely destroyed. Officers believe key clues may still emerge through forensic analysis and satellite data.
