Sonam and Raja

Sonam Raghuwanshi, the prime accused in her husband Raja Raghuvanshi’s murder during their honeymoon in Meghalaya, has completed her one month in Shillong jail. But even after all this time, Sonam has shown no regret for her action, NDTV reported.

Adding to her isolation, not a single family member has visited or contacted her since her arrest. According to the NDTV report, Sonam has quietly adjusted to prison life.
Jail sources told NDTV that she has been following the prison schedule diligently. She wakes up at the same time every morning, abides by all jail rules, and has managed to blend in with other inmates.

Notably, she has not opened up to anyone, neither fellow prisoners nor jail officials, about her personal life or the murder that brought her here.

Currently, she is staying in a cell near the jail warden’s office, sharing the space with two other under-trial women inmates. Though she hasn’t been assigned any specific prison duties yet, authorities plan to engage her in skill-building activities like sewing in the coming days. She also has access to a television for a few hours daily, the report said.
