PTC Web Desk: In a crucial development in the high-profile murder of Raja Raghuvanshi, a Meghalaya local court on Wednesday remanded all five primary accused—Sonam Raghuvanshi, Raj Kushwaha, Vishal, Akash, and Anand—to eight days of police custody. The order followed a detailed request by investigating officers who sought extended custody to probe deeper into the alleged conspiracy.
