New Twist in Raja Raghuvanshi Case: Sonam’s True Target Revealed by Police, Her Marriage Breakup Shocks Many

Shillong/Indore/National, June 20, 2025 — The high-profile Raja Raghuvanshi case has taken yet another dramatic turn, with new revelations emerging from the Shillong police investigation. The inquiry has unveiled that accused Sonam Raghuvanshi may never have been destined to marry Raja after all — she had set her sights on another man entirely. Fortunately, that planned alliance fell apart before it progressed, potentially averting much greater tragedy.

Here’s a detailed account:

Shillong Police Intensify Interrogations

The Shillong police have been vigorously questioning Sonam Raghuvanshi in recent days. Investigators are working to uncover every angle of the case, aiming to piece together Sonam’s motives, background, and possible connections to anyone else involved.

During these interrogations, Sonam reportedly disclosed that her marriage to Raja Raghuvanshi was never firmly cemented. Instead, she had another “target” — someone else. Now, just who that person was, and why the proposed match with Sonam fell apart, has become central to the evolving narrative.

The Other Man in Sonam’s Life

According to statements from investigating officers, Sonam was once engaged to a man named Mayank Raghuvanshi, the son of businessman Harish Raghuvanshi from Nanawadi, Dhar district, Madhya Pradesh.

Engagement Arranged
Mayank’s uncle reportedly initiated the relationship, presenting their son as a potential groom. The families arranged an engagement ceremony about one and a half years ago. Both Sonam and Mayank were said to have consented to the match, and talks of marriage began earnestly.

Horoscope Alignment Sparks Concern
As customary in many Indian marriages, the families consulted an astrologer to match the prospective bride and groom’s Kundli (birth charts). The astrologer’s assessment reportedly found 25 favorable matching points — typically seen as a strong indicator of compatibility. However, despite this initial positivity, astrological warnings soon surfaced.

Astrologer’s Dire Prediction
The astrologer cautioned that while the match might appear auspicious initially, deeper planetary positions suggested the marriage could face serious disruption — possibly even danger. On account of this radical forecasting, Mayank’s family reportedly grew uneasy.

Alliance Falls Apart
Heeding the astrologer’s warnings, Mayank’s family abruptly called off the engagement and canceled the wedding plans. They feared potential harm to their son’s future brought on by unfavorable planetary influences. Although Sonam and her family were reportedly disappointed, they had little choice but to accept the situation.

A Twist of Fate: Raja Raghuvanshi Emerges

In the aftermath of Sonam’s broken engagement with Mayank, she purportedly became involved with Raja Raghuvanshi. No formal relationship — or a pending marriage — had been firmly established, but Sonam’s connection with Raja gained visibility, ultimately culminating in the ongoing police investigation over serious allegations.

Shocking voices from various quarters — family acquaintances, neighbors in Shillong, and local journalists — have now pointed to Sonam’s prior attachment to Mayank as the true intended alliance. Some speculate that unresolved emotional grievances from that broken engagement may have influenced her mindset and actions later, including the trajectory of her relationship with Raja.

Bihar-Based Family Expresses Relief

When news of Sonam’s potential marriage with Mayank and the astrologer’s warnings reached the Bihar-based Raghuvanshi family (to which Mayank belongs), they expressed profound relief. Many privately admitted that, had the marriage gone through, their son might have become the inadvertent target of the same suspicious circumstances now unfolding with Sonam and Raja.

One elder from the family told local media, “Had the match not been called off when it was, time might have placed our son in the exact position Raja is now in.” Their gratitude to astrological guidance was palpable; many in that region treat astrology not merely as tradition, but as deeply trusted counsel.

Police Probe Gains Complexity

This new revelation has added another layer to the ongoing police investigation in Shillong. Investigators are now exploring:

What exactly Sonam’s “true target” meant in her statements.

Whether Mayank felt victimized in any way.

Whether Sonam’s supposed emotional fallout following the canceled engagement informed her later actions.

If there were undisclosed communications or confrontations between Sonam and either Mayank or Raja prior to the incident that prompted police inquiry.

During questioning, sources say, Sonam acknowledged that she felt scorned when the Mayank marriage was blocked. Whether she acted on this emotional hurt — and whether it connects to the crime she’s accused of — remains under scrutiny.

Why Astrology Held Final Say

In large parts of India, including rural and semi-urban areas like Dhar (Madhya Pradesh), horoscope matching remains deeply important, especially among traditional and business families. Even after 25 “gun Milan” points indicating strong compatibility, deeper planetary causes can provoke anxiety.

Here, Mayank’s family reportedly feared such risks outweighed all other considerations. Their decision to break the engagement despite public expectations underscores the weight that astrology can still hold in arranging marriages across large swathes of Indian society.

Could This Lead Change Police Strategy?

Police officials in Shillong are exploring whether the broken engagement with Mayank caused Sonam to harbor lasting anger or vengeance — or if her involvement with Raja may have been part of a broader emotional narrative triggered by that earlier failed match. The possibility remains that her “real target” changed along the way, introducing unexpected emotional or criminal elements.

Investigators have requested call records, WhatsApp exchanges, and other communications between Sonam and Mayank, as well as between Sonam and Raja. They are also interviewing family members of both men to reconstruct background context.

A senior official involved in the probe told reporters:

“We are now bridging old emotional relationships with current allegations. It’s possible that Sonam’s mindset was shaped long before the current incident. We intend to follow every thread to the end.”

The Bigger Picture

While the police investigation focuses on serious questions of crime, Sonam’s past relationship with Mayank brings to light broader cultural dynamics — the enduring influence of astrology, familial decision-making, and emotional trauma caused by broken relationships.

It also illustrates how heartbreak and betrayal in arranged contexts can spiral into complex narratives with unintended, potentially catastrophic consequences. Sonam’s shifting affiliations — from Mayank to Raja — suggest the fallout from a broken trust can ripple far beyond what anyone originally anticipated.

What Lies Ahead

Police Forensics — Physical evidence, digital footprints, and hospital/medical reports (if any) to clarify Raja’s condition and Sonam’s involvement.

Further Interrogations — Police are expected to summon more relatives, close friends, and others who may shed light on Sonam’s emotional state leading up to the incident.

Astrology vs. Reality — The case has already sparked public debate: did breaking off Sonam’s earlier engagement truly prevent harm? Or is astrology being used as a scapegoat to justify inter-family decisions?

Sonam’s Legal Response — As of now, Sonam faces police custody and is being processed through legal channels. Whether she enters bail proceedings, turns state’s witness, or offers a confession remains uncertain.

Public Reactions

Astrology Supporters: Many netizens have sided with Mayank’s family, citing their decision to rely on astrology as a prudential measure that may have saved their son from dire circumstances.

Skeptics & Rationalists: Conversely, skeptics argue that astrology was used to conceal more typical factors leading to the engagement’s collapse — class differences, financial disagreements, or pure personal incompatibility.

Social Media Outrage: As this incident attracts national attention, user comments such as “waiting to see if astrology becomes the scapegoat when evidence dries up” reflect mixed sentiments around traditional versus modern narratives.

Conclusion

The Raja Raghuvanshi case has entered a new, unpredictable phase. From a personal scandal to the revelation of a broken engagement soundtracked by astrological advice — the story now spans emotional relationships, spiritual belief, and potentially criminal misdeeds.

With investigators digging deeper, the central question remains: Who — if anyone — was Sonam truly targeting, and does that original intention help explain the events under investigation?

In a society where arranged marriages, horoscope calculations, and emotional entanglements intersect in often surprising ways, this case may prove to be a microcosm of broader tensions between tradition, trust, and modern legal scrutiny.

Only time — and the ongoing police investigation — will reveal whether Sonam’s shifting alliances were driven purely by heartbreak, or by something more alarming.
