Two brothers of murdered Indore businessman Raja Raghuvanshi were arrested in Madhya Pradesh on Saturday for serving liquor without a licence at their eatery. Sachin Raghuvanshi and Vipin Raghuvanshi, along with three employees, were taken into preventive custody under Section 170 of the BNSS. Assistant Commissioner of Police Nidhi Saxena said a separate case was filed under the Excise Act and Section 223 of the BNS. Raja Raghuvanshi was allegedly killed during his honeymoon in Meghalaya in May 2025. His wife Sonam Raghuvanshi, her alleged lover, and three hired men have been arrested for the murder. The Supreme Court recently cancelled Sonam's bail and ordered her surrender.
