Sonam was standing in front of the king at the time of murder
During the reconstruction, the police played a person as ‘Raja’. According to the police, Vishal made the first attack, which was the fastest. The second war Anand and Akash made a third attack. During interrogation, the police have received information about the use of two weapons (dau). One of which has been recovered, while the other is still being searched. It is being told that Sonam was standing in front of the king at the time of the murder and he had indicated that now the attack should be done. After the death of the king, the three accused picked up his body and threw it into a ditch. First the corpse was placed on a platform and then the three together dropped it down. Blood marks were found on Akash’s shirt which was recovered on 2 June. Akash told that he had thrown it into the ditch.
Sonam was involved in murder conspiracy
After the murder, Sonam broke Raja’s mobile and later Vishal also broke. According to the police, Sonam’s own mobile has not been recovered yet. The police team has also searched the flat in Indore, where Sonam was hidden during absconding. At the moment that flat has been found empty. During interrogation, Sonam confessed that she was involved in the murder conspiracy. Police has confirmed two wounds in the post -mortem report.
