- Sonam Raghuvanshi allegedly orchestrated her husband Raja’s murder during their honeymoon and paid contract killers ₹20 lakh afterward.
- Police confirmed Sonam handed over ₹15,000 taken from Raja’s wallet to the assailants during the crime.
- The murder occurred on May 23, the day the couple was reported missing, with Raja killed by a dao and valuables stolen.
- Authorities intend to conduct a crime scene reconstruction involving Sonam and the accused to verify the sequence of events.
The FIR clearly mentions that Raja was murdered with a dao (machete) and his valuables were taken. Sonam’s involvement in paying the killers and offering a large sum afterwards strongly points to a conspiracy.— Vivek Syiem, Superintendent of Police, East Khasi Hills, discussing the murder case of Raja Raghuvanshi.

Court Halts Deportation of Activist Mahmoud KhalilA U.S. judge blocked Khalil's deportation over foreign policy claims, effective Friday, with an option for government appeal.
- A federal judge ruled that Mahmoud Khalil cannot be deported based on the Secretary of State’s foreign policy concerns.
- The injunction becomes effective Friday, providing the government time to file an appeal against the ruling.
- The judge found that Khalil’s professional reputation and freedom of speech are suffering irreparable harm.
- The ruling does not prevent deportation attempts based on other alleged issues, such as inaccuracies in Khalil’s green card application.
We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visa.— Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, spoke in March about deporting students with pro-Palestinian connections.
