In a tragic turn of events, Sonam Raghuvanshi, a newlywed from Indore, has gone missing, and her husband Raja Raghuvanshi was found murdered in a gorge in Meghalaya.
The couple had been on their honeymoon, but what began as a joyous occasion quickly turned into a nightmare. Raja’s body was discovered deep inside a gorge in the Weisawdong area on June 2, while Sonam’s whereabouts remain unknown despite an intensive search operation.
Rescue teams, including the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), have been working tirelessly to locate Sonam in the treacherous terrain of Meghalaya.
The search has been severely hampered by the steep and slippery gorge, making it one of the most difficult terrains encountered in India. Inspectors on the ground reported that despite rappelling efforts, they could not reach the bottom of the 300-foot gorge due to low visibility, wet soil, and dangerous conditions.
The rescue operation, which involves over 50 personnel from multiple agencies, has been hindered by bad weather and dense forest cover. A drone was deployed, but continuous rainfall has rendered it ineffective, further complicating the search.
