A special investigation team (SIT) of the Meghalaya Police arrested two persons on Saturday and Sunday in Madhya Pradesh in connection with the murder of Indore businessman Raja Raghuvanshi, a senior officer said. With the fresh arrests, the total number of people nabbed in the honeymoon murder case has risen to seven.
An Indore court on Sunday remanded the duo — Silome James, a property dealer, and Balbir Ahirwar, a security guard — in the transit custody of Meghalaya Police for seven days. The SIT on Saturday night arrested Silome James for concealing a box belonging to Raghuvanshi’s wife and prime accused, Sonam, who hid it in a flat in Indore after the murder on May 23.
According to police, Silome is the lessee of a building at Heera Bagh Colony in Indore where Sonam had stayed and kept the jewellery and other items she took with her after the incident. Later, the SIT nabbed a security guard, identified as Balbir Ahirwar alias Balla, from his native village in Ashok Nagar district of Madhya Pradesh around 2 am on Sunday. He was posted on duty at the property.
