UPDATED: Jun 17, 2025 08:58 IST
The YouTuber who earlier uploaded the final video of Raja Raghuvanshi and his wife Sonam trekking in Meghalaya — just hours before Raja was murdered — has now released another clip, claiming it shows the three alleged killers walking ahead of the couple.
YouTuber Devendra Singh claimed the three men walking ahead of Raja and Sonam in the video are the same individuals involved in the Indore-based businessman's murder during his honeymoon trip in Meghalaya. He identifies them as Vishal Chauhan, Anand Kurmi, and Akash Rajput.
According to Singh, Vishal Chauhan is seen leading the group, the same person who allegedly struck Raja with a machete. Anand Kurmi is walking behind him and can be seen wearing the same T-shirt he had on when he was later arrested by the police. Akash Rajput is seen trailing the group.

Why hasn't Governor invited Vijay to form government? Experts weigh in
A major political standoff has erupted in Tamil Nadu as the state governor allegedly delays inviting the single largest party to form the new government. Despite submitting a letter of support with one hundred and twelve elected representatives, the governor has reportedly demanded proof of a simple majority of one hundred and eighteen before administering the oath of office. Political analysts and legal experts argue that constitutional precedents mandate the governor to invite the single largest party and allow them to prove their majority on the floor of the legislative assembly, rather than turning the governor's residence into a testing ground. Amidst the delay, rumours of an unlikely alliance between rival Dravidian parties have surfaced, though these are widely dismissed as pressure tactics. Meanwhile, forty elected representatives from the leading party have reportedly been relocated to a resort to prevent potential poaching. Experts warn that any attempt by constitutional authorities to subvert the electoral mandate could lead to severe institutional clashes and undermine the democratic process in the state.
