Police arrested Raja's wife, Sonam (25), her alleged partner Raj Kushwaha (25), and three others. They are accused of carrying out the murder.
Sonam went missing after the crime. She later surrendered to police in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, over 1,200 km from the crime scene, on June 9, 2025.
A Priest's Prediction
Sachin, Raja's elder brother, said a priest at the Kamakhya Temple predicted Raja would be reborn, as his death was unnatural.
Months after Raja's death, Sachin and his wife welcomed a baby boy. The family named him Raja, believing he is the reincarnation of his uncle.
