Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav has formally requested Union Home Minister Amit Shah to order a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the disappearance of an Indore couple in Meghalaya.
The case has gained national attention after Raja Raghuvanshi was found dead, and his wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, remains missing.
In a post on social media platform X, CM Yadav expressed solidarity with the grieving family, stating, “Madhya Pradesh stands with the family of Sonam Raghuvanshi in this hour of crisis (sic).” He added that he has personally spoken with the Chief Minister of Meghalaya regarding the matter.
Yadav assured that senior officials from Madhya Pradesh are in continuous coordination with their counterparts in Meghalaya to monitor developments closely. “I have requested Union Home Minister Amit Shah to order a CBI inquiry in this case. Every possible effort is being made for the safe return of Sonam Raghuvanshi (sic),” he said.
Sonam and her husband, Raja Raghuvanshi (29), disappeared on May 23, just hours after checking out of a homestay in Nongriat village, East Khasi Hills district. On June 2, Raja’s body was recovered from a deep gorge near a waterfall in the Sohra region, approximately 20 kilometers from the homestay. Meghalaya police subsequently registered a murder case but have yet to uncover any leads regarding Sonam’s whereabouts.
