Rau police in Indore have booked Sachin Raghuvanshi and Vipin Raghuvanshi, brothers of murdered businessman Raja Raghuvanshi, for allegedly serving liquor without a licence at their eatery, Raja Bhoj Dhaba. The brothers and three employees were placed under preventive arrest, a police official said. A case under the Madhya Pradesh Excise Act has been registered. A separate case under BNS Section 223 was filed against Vipin for failing to submit employee details to police. The family had been in the spotlight after Raja Raghuvanshi was murdered in Meghalaya in May 2025. His wife and her lover are the prime accused.
