On crime scene recreation in Raja Raghuvanshi murder case, SP East Khasi Hills Vivek Syiem said, "The reconstruction was very successful. We have got a very clear picture now…There were three blows - first by Vishal, second by Anand and the last blow by Akash. We have ascertained that one more machete still needs to be recovered. The accused replayed how they threw the machete. SDRF are trying to recover the second weapon. We have ascertained what happened to Raja's mobile phone. It was damaged by Sonam and then by Vishal. This whole thing was played out, and also their exit from here..."
00:00The SIT today visited a number of places. We have done construction in five places, starting from Mohalakya to Baisaudong parking lot.
00:12And this construction has been based on the interrogations we've been conducting over the last few days.
00:20I have already told you that in the interrogations they have admitted to the fence and we just had to actually replay or recast how they had done it.
00:35And we started off from the Mohalakya parking lot where they had kept the spookies.
00:43Then we had moved on to a place about three to four kilometers from Mohalakya parking lot whereby they had stopped to take photographs and there was an attempt in that place.
00:58But it was not peaceful because Raja started off his bike and so they had to move on.
01:04And they had stopped about 200 meters away from Mohalakya parking lot.
01:11There only photographs were taken but attempt was not made at that point.
01:17We finally came to the Waisaudong parking lot where the skookies were kept.
01:22We ascertained where the skookies were kept, ascertained where Raja was standing.
01:28We had taken as, to replay the whole thing, we had taken one of our personnel from the fire emergency services as Raja to replay the role of Raja.
01:40We have ascertained what was the position just before the murder, who was standing where and how the blow took place.
01:51So three blows took place. The first blow was by Vishal. It is Vicky. The second blow was by Aran. And the last blow was by Akash.
02:03In our interrogation we have ascertained that there is one more dao or machete which needs to be recovered. It is still down there.
02:13They have replayed of how they have thrown the two daos. The first dao which was thrown has been recovered. We have seen that in certain visuals. It has an orange handle.
02:29The second machete which is not recovered and from which they have shown as to where is the point of it being thrown. It has got a steel handle.
02:41There is GRF on the job. They have gone down and they have taken handheld metal dritters to try to recover the weapon. We have also ascertained how Akash, the white shirt which we have recovered with the body the 2nd of June. That was thrown by Akash. That was this shirt. He has shown us from where he has thrown that.
03:05We have also ascertained as to what happened to the mobile of Raja which was first damaged by Sonam and later by Vishal. So this whole thing has been played out and how they made their exit from this place.
03:31So this whole scheme, this whole reconstruction of the murder, the offence has been played out today. We have got a very clear picture. We have recorded in videography. We have got independent witnesses to cover it. And I think the reconstruction was very very successful.
03:51Thank you. Thank you.
03:53So how did it recover?
03:55So what do you think about this one?
03:56See we have been stating that we have ascertained one more weapon which I have said. Today they have shown us because of the kind of terrain out there which is particular fall to the gorge. The SDRF is here and they will be recovering it. If they can get to you we are hoping that we should get to you. If not then tomorrow.
04:19The whole getting of the victim using that weapon on the victim has been ascertained and where that weapon was thrown from has also been ascertained.
04:33What are the three wounds? The third wound from the neck?
04:37What are the wounds?
04:39As per the post-mortem report there were two wounds on the head. You know so the third wound, the third one which Anand has said when he had taken his shot, he was very nervous and I think it didn't make much of an impact.
04:55Also if there is an impact also the kind of decomposition which the body has had, post-mortem examination was given to acetate that gash of it. But the two head injuries, two head injuries from sharp weapons are very clear.
05:13Sir, where is Sonam's phone?
05:15Sir, where is Sonam's phone?
05:17Sorry, Sonam's phone has been actually, she is actually disposed of destroying that phone and torn off that phone.
05:25The ornaments that Radha was wearing, gold chain, the money.
05:29See that has already been actually taken out right from down there, right from, right from Nongbyad, there was no gold being worn on her.
05:39It was already in the bag.
05:41Sir, it was taken by surprise.
05:43Was it taken by surprise?
05:45Yes, he was taken by surprise.
05:47The first hit was from Vicky and it was a, I think it was a very hard hit because it used, I think two hands were used for that hit.
05:56Sir, how did Raja try to save yourself?
05:59What had happened to you?
06:01And Sonam was there at that time?
06:03Sonam also tried to kill him?
06:05Or did he help him to dump his teeth?
06:07See, Sonam was there when this happened and all that.
06:11How far will it be, sir?
06:13How far will it be?
06:14Sonam had already given a signal to them just before the parking lot that they should finish the job.
06:22And Sonam was close by, in fact she was in front when this happened.
06:27Sonam was in front, Raja was behind, Vishal was to the right, Akash was just to the behind but to his left.
06:36So, when this happened, when the first shot, when the first hit was given by Vishal and the blood came out and he had fallen, which we have reconstructed that, she ran off from that place because he was screaming.
06:57So, she just moved away from that spot and the body was thrown by the three of them.
07:04Two of them held from the hands and one person held from the legs and he was thrown down.
07:09They have mentioned out there that he had, because it's terraced, that the vespers out there is terraced.
07:17He had, the body had fallen into one kind of a platform and from there on, went right down.
07:24Sir, that is the end point where there is a grill, which is on the exterior.
07:28There is also a murder.
07:30Sir, did he die because of the wound or because of the fall?
07:33The post-mortem says he died because of the sharp wound.
07:38Sir, you mentioned that the three, all the three were the ones who lifted the body.
07:43Who was the one who was riding the scooty and eyeing around here?
07:46See, we actually, in the beginning, we had thought that somebody was actually moving around up and down.
07:53But actually, this is actually, you go this way and this way and you go out this way, it's a zigzag.
07:59So, the zigzag is actually this way. It's not somebody going up and down.
08:03Could you establish the motive of the crime through these crimes in the enactment?
08:09See, out here is actually finding out its motive, though primarily the investigation, as we have already said,
08:17that is a love triangle, but we are trying to explore if there is any other thing more.
08:21This investigation doesn't end here.
08:23We will explore if there is any other motive.
08:25Right now, the motive which appears in front of us is this love triangle.
08:31And we will explore further.
08:33Sir, the biggest question is, Raj has booked a ticket to come here.
08:37Why did he come here?
08:39Why did he come here? What did he tell us?
08:41He sent his three friends.
08:43He came here. He was in contact.
08:45Why did Raj have not come here?
08:47See, Raj is an employee of Sonam's...
08:49...of Sonam's...
08:51...of Sonam's...
08:53...of Sonam's...
08:55...of Sonam's...
08:57...of Sonam's...
08:59...of Sonam's...
09:01...of Sonam's...
09:03...of Sonam's...
09:05...of Sonam's...
09:06...of Sonam's...
09:07...family's company.
09:08His disappearance out there...
09:10...would be suspicious.
09:12That's why he is always in touch with the family.
09:14Sir!
09:15Well, in this recreation time, Sonam...
09:17...nay kya kabool kiya hai ki...
09:19...wo hai...
09:20...gagna me...
09:21...samele...
09:22...us ne hi...hazda kiya ni?
09:23Very much.
09:24Very much.
09:25Yes, yes.
09:26Very much.
09:27Right from the beginning, I said in my statements...
09:29...she has already admitted to this whole...
09:31...scheme of things.
09:32...kya sir...
09:33...shiprah...
09:34...shiprah...
09:35...ho mistake...
09:36...yepaas...
09:37...yepaas...
09:38...yepaas...
09:39...yepaas...
09:40...yepaas...
09:41...yepa...
09:42...yepa...
09:43...yepa...
09:44...yepa...
09:45No!
09:46Sir!
09:47Sir, uh...
09:48...the...
09:49...mighala police will seek the more times from the court, Sir...
09:52...the...
09:53...where Visala and Akash...
09:54...holding.
09:55...hanand...
09:56...how did he...
09:57...like...
09:58...the last one...
09:59...hanand...
10:00...hannand...
10:01Anand, Akash had given him.
10:08Sir, sir!
10:10Any criminal who is actually caught will regret their actions.
10:19So we cannot say whether they have remorse.
10:22Regret they have, remorse I can't say.
10:25What was her expression when it's here?
10:36I don't think so.
10:39She was just replying to what he said.
10:43How did she know about this place?
10:46Why did they choose this place?
10:48According to them, it's by chance that they chose this place.
10:52They were actually all along wanting to, multiple places wanted to actually finish him off.
10:57Like I said, right from Longoria also, they wanted that there was no place to dispose.
11:00So multiple places around, they looked.
11:03And when they just happened to move into this place, they found it was empty.
11:07And there was a viewpoint which they were hanging around out there in that viewpoint.
11:13So that was the chance they could.
11:15In the local media, there were two videos that were told in the last video.
11:18In the last video, they were also seeing a sonam and three of them are also seeing a sonam.
11:21So will they call that person to the pustach and his statement be taken?
11:24Yes, yes. In fact that will help us also.
11:26Because the whole thing is we are trying to prove is that these people were there together.
11:31So that video also in fact helps us.
11:34The person who recorded that, we will reach out to him.
11:38Sir.
11:39Can we rule out that the excuse has breakaged the place because the ease at which they left the place
11:44after coming in the trial taking a city, it needs an expert to move to the route and all.
11:48It's not easy to get to the main road.
11:50So is that an idea?
11:52Is it possible that there is any one of them to take the place before?
11:56See, as of now, because you see you have someone who is in this day and age,
12:01you are booking, you have GPS and all that.
12:03So it's not very difficult actually to get to the main road.
12:06Okay, so we will show you the closest approach to get to the main road.
12:13It's not very difficult in this day and age.
12:15But regarding whether they came, none of these people have visited Shalom before.
12:21However, we will still investigate in this matter.
12:25Actually, they had the information that they visited prior to this incident.
12:30Sir, now triangle.
12:31So is the police satisfied with the ADA's custody or are you seeking for more?
12:34Well, we will take a call on that and have to sit with the in charge, SIT and his team and all that.
12:40Whether you know, they will let me know whether this requires some more days.
12:44Perhaps they will.
12:45So, sir, what is the financial angle of love triangle?
12:47What is the first question?
12:49Because there was a big contract with Raja in Madhya Pradesh, Indor.
12:55And who was supporting the Raja?
12:57Who was supporting the Raja?
13:01Who was the two boys?
13:02Because Banaras's girl has told the two boys.
13:05See, like I said, immediately which comes to the fore is this love triangle.
13:12Investigation has just started.
13:14You will explore more into this.
13:17If there are other angles, if there is a financial angle.
13:20If somebody was to gain from Raja's death, like you said, if Raja was going to bag your contract,
13:26you will verify all these.
13:27In fact, right now as we are speaking, my team is there in Indor.
13:31They have gone to the flat of the flat where Sunam was kept.
13:37They have conducted search out there.
13:39The flat is empty.
13:41But they will be camping in Indor for actually questioning a lot of things.
13:47Can you tell us at any time Raja was surprised to see the presence of these three?
13:55Or are the three are known to him?
13:59No, these three were not known to Raja.
14:04In fact, once they made friends and since the plan was known to Sunam and the three people,
14:13so when they said that they will go to Dawki, Raja automatically made friends with them
14:21because they had said that they are going to MP, also to Dawki.
14:27And so they made plans together that from here they will go to Dawki.
14:31They established contact on the street itself.
14:34Yes, yes.
14:35Okay, thank you.
14:36Sir, Sunam's family will take this statement and they will join the investigation.
14:40The case was known to them because the body was dumped here earlier.
14:43That's all, thank you.
14:44Because that story also went viral all over the country.
14:47So did they know about that story?
14:50Not, not, not to our knowledge and not, they have not, they have never visited this place.
14:56They have not heard about this case before also.
14:59According to them, it's by chance.
15:01But we will explore that, like I said, whether they have come here before.
15:04And if they have come here before, they will be familiar with the place.
15:06Sir, Sunam's family will also join the investigation.
15:08Do you guys have spoken to someone?
15:10See, our team is there.
15:12They will do some questioning over there.
15:14They will find out what is the background and a lot of any other angle.
