Indore police have arrested Sachin and Vipin Raghuvanshi, brothers of Meghalaya murder victim Raja Raghuvanshi, for allegedly serving liquor without a licence at a dhaba operating in his name, indiatoday.in reports. Police inspected Raja Bhoj Dhaba on CAT Road and found unlicensed liquor sales. They also noted that employee details had not been filed with the station. The two were booked under the Excise Act and produced in court, which sent them to jail.
Raja Raghuvanshi and his wife Sonam travelled from Indore to Meghalaya for their honeymoon in May 2025. Raja's body was later found in a gorge. Police allege Sonam conspired with her lover to kill him. She was arrested in June 2025 and faces trial with others.
This arrest for a licensing violation seems petty next to a murder trial, but it shows the police are enforcing the law without favour. Some may see it as harassing a grieving family; others will say the law must be blind. The real test will be whether the murder case proceeds on schedule or gets sidelined by such side issues. Watch if the dhaba's licence history was clean before the victim's death.
