The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
The media's focus on the Raghuvanshi family's latest scrape with the law risks sensationalising a separate, trivial offence. The brothers' arrest for selling liquor without a licence, a minor regulatory breach, is being linked to a murder case where their sister-in-law stands accused. This conflates two distinct matters. The real test of law enforcement will be the murder trial's outcome, not the outcome of every ancillary violation the family faces. Does reporting every run-in with the police serve public interest or just fuel a trial by media?
