Meghalaya CM vows justice for murdered tourist from Indore, as search continues for missing wife.
Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma said his government will leave no stone unturned to ensure that those behind the murder of a tourist from Indore, Raja Raghuvanshi, are brought to book.
Raghuvanshi (29) and his wife Sonam had gone missing on May 23, hours after they checked out of a homestay at Nongriat village in Sohra area. His body was found on Monday in a gorge 20 k.m. from the village, while a search is underway for his wife.
"We will leave no stone unturned to make sure that those responsible for this incident are brought to book," Mr. Sangma told reporters on Wednesday.
On the Raghuvanshi family's demand for a CBI probe, the Chief Minister said the government will take an appropriate decision.
"It is important to get to the facts of the situation so that the truth comes out. Therefore, we will take whatever steps are required to be taken... then we will take an appropriate decision. Right now, it is too early to say what is happening and how much we know and how much we don't because there are so many missing links even now," he added.
The Chief Minister also assured the family members of the Indore couple that the government is trying to work as fast as possible to find the deceased's wife, who is still missing.
Terming the incident as very unfortunate, Mr. Sangma also described it as something which nobody had seen in Meghalaya before.
