Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaJune 10, 2025

Education Minister Rakkam A Sangma on Tuesday said since the truth behind the recent murder of a tourist from Indore has been revealed, those involved in tarnishing the image of Meghalaya should apologize.

“I feel those, who are blaming Meghalaya and our people, should apologize,” Sangma told reporters.

The minister said he felt very hurt to see people in social media and the national media were blaming the state and its people without knowing the facts of the case.

“We are not people of that kind and the truth has finally been revealed and exposed today,” he said while commenting on the police’s quick action against the culprits that include Sonam, wife of the victim Raja Raghuvanshi, who was murdered while on a honeymoon to Sohra.

Sangma said people out of emotions and depression are forced to say whatever they feel but what is important is that the truth of what happened has been finally revealed.
