The SIT team of Meghalaya Police faced Sonam and her lover Raj Kushwaha face to face. Along with this, the evidence collected against Sonam was also shown, after which Sonam broke and wept and confessed to her crime. Please tell that the couple Raja and Sonam of Indore were married on May 11. Three days after the wedding, Sonam planned to kill her husband Raja. Sonam, along with her lover Raj, made a plan and killed the king by paying money to three mercenaries. Sonam deliberately took the king to Shillong for a honeymoon while she had no plan to go there. Sonam refused her lover Raj to come to Shillong so that no one would suspect.
