In a big development in the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case, Sonam Raghvanshi has reportedly confessed her role in the offence, police sources said.
‘Sonam admitted her role in Raja’s murder‘
Sources in the police told NDTV that Sonam admitted her role in Raja’s murder to the police. Sonam’s confession will provide a lead in the probe. Notably, a confession must be recorded before a magistrate to become admissible in a court of law.
