Meghalaya Honeymoon Murder: A team of Shillong police from Meghalaya seized CCTV DVR from Shilom James’ residence in Indore on Monday evening. Shilom James was also with them during this. Shilom James, a property dealer who had reportedly rented out a flat to accused Sonam, was arrested on June 21. He was apprehended while he was attempting to escape to Bhopal from the Bhonrasa toll-gate in Dewas district. The CCTV DVR recovered by the police serves as a crucial evidence and will help in the further investigation into the murder mystery of Raja Raghuvanshi.
About Shilom’s Involvement In The Case
The accused was arrested in connection with allegedly concealing evidence. Shilom is a property dealer and lessee of a building at Heera Bagh Colony in Indore. Sonam had stayed and kept the jewellery and other items she took with her after the incident.
