00:00I saw in the news that the police of Meghalaya, they have found the Mangal Sutra and also the ring
00:08from the suitcase of Sanam which is left in the homestay. So I think that is a very, very vital
00:14clue which they can find out. The case should be a very strong case now. They should be punished
00:20as per the law of murdering the person in the state of Meghalaya. This is a pre-planned and
00:28organized crime. It is initiated by the Sonam Raghubanshi, the wife of the late Raja Raghubanshi.
00:40This is a pure organized and a pre-planned crime. First of all I would like to give my appreciation
00:47to the Meghalaya State Police for doing a very significant job for the NAB the culprit and
00:56now we are very happy also those culprit will be under the remand of the police for eight
01:03days. So first of all I would like to at the beginning I want to convey my condolences to
01:12the family, the parents, the brother, sister and the relative of the Raja Raghubanshi who
01:20has been brutally murdered in the Soura in the state of Meghalaya. I understand that I know at the
01:29beginning they were very angry. Because after they heard the news, they received the news and they are
01:36very shocked for them. But it's a very sad news that their own son of the family had been brutally
01:43killed in Soura. So at that moment of course they have been blaming the people of Meghalaya, they
01:51are blaming the police of Meghalaya. But now we are very happy that they have apologized. Everyone
01:57has apologized even from the national news, the social media, few of them also they have apologized for
02:02their mistake without knowing the fact. They have the blaming, ternishing and maligning the image of
02:08the state of Meghalaya.
02:10What do you want to say about this fight and crew received by the Meghalaya police?
02:15I saw in the news that the police of Meghalaya, they have found the Mangal Sutra and also the ring from the suitcase
02:24of Sanam which is left in the homestay. So I think that is a very, very vital clue where they can find out. The case should
02:32be a very strong case now because they have, why they have to left the Mangal Sutra? And maybe wedding ring or the ring, we don't know.
02:40But why you have to left it in the suitcase? She had to be with herself only, but how she had left the suitcase? So they have
02:48a very, very wrong motive by putting the Mangal Sutra and also the ring inside the suitcase. That also they have
02:55been parked, that suitcase in the homestay.
02:57What do you want to say about the future course of action of the Meghalaya police? Because the investigation is going on.
03:05So they have to go full complete investigations and they should, they should be punished as per law.
03:12That's what we want. The people of Meghalaya want, I want, the people of Meghalaya want, the government of Meghalaya want,
03:19they should be punished as per the law of murdering the person in the state of Meghalaya.
03:26So this is a pre-planned and organized crime. It is initiated by the
03:29So this is a pre-planned and organized crime. It is initiated by the
03:41Sonam Raghubanshi, the sonam Raghubanshi, the wife of late Raja Raghubanshi. This is a pure organized and a pre-planned crime. They want from, I think maybe right from beginning they want to eliminate the Raja Raghubanshi.
04:08Sir, can you say something about this further investigation process, any re-repellation of...
04:15Further investigation process, I will not be able to tell you anything right now because the all are the custodian of the investigation team. We hope that they will do justice for the best of the state and the best of the people of Meghalaya.
04:36Sir, is it possible that all the five vehicles will be taken to the Sahara to recreate the scene and there is something else?
04:43Sir, that depends on the investigation team. It is up to their opinion, up to their wisdom, whatever they will take, whatever they will not take, that is, we leave it to the wisdom of the investigation team.
05:00You have also mentioned, and the people also, people of Meghalaya also demand a strong action...
05:05No, a strong action as per law they should be punished. As per law they should be punished. A murdering a person, whether it is from local or non-local or any human being, it has to be punished.
05:18Sir, is it any effect in the tourism sector in this...?
05:22No, after that also we have seen before they are, you know, found the body of the Raja Raghavachari, even so many press have gone into Sahara and took the individual interview to all the people.
05:37The people at that time, they were shocked, but after they came to know that it is all the organised crime, it is done by those people only, so people are really rejoiced now.
05:46Not only the people, I have seen that the entire nations, we got the call from the entire nation, we got the social media, the people are saying that now everybody appreciating for the people of Meghalaya and the state of Meghalaya and particularly to the government of Meghalaya and especially to the police of the Meghalaya state.
06:05So Meghalaya was the safe, is the safe and will be safe for the...
06:10See, I'm telling you Meghalaya, I have told you this from the beginning only. We are the peace lobbying citizens. We don't do anything wrong. If anybody who has their intentions to doing wrong, that is in isolation cases that we cannot say anything.
06:26What if you tell that people of Meghalaya, they will do by themselves, which has no reasons to do it against anybody. I don't believe that.
06:35Because you already have to be honest.
06:36No, can you speak to people of Meghalaya.
06:37What if you tell them them?
06:40Yeah.
06:41Can they easily agree?
06:42I feelapi I love that theyulle thank you so much, it gave my Yi that I'm into a substance for don't even, but even though you thought they were all the same.
06:46But now you just did see them.
06:47I will do anything wrong.
06:48So a lot of people because you didn't want to be thought I had to be fine, so they said they wanted to do it against someone else, as well, they can't be fine with lo tien call research.
