They faced charges related to obstruction of justice and tampering with evidence at a flat in Indore where Raghuvanshi's wife Sonam and her boyfriend Raj Kushwaha had stayed after the murder committed by three hitmen.

A special investigation team (SIT) of the Meghalaya Police had on Sunday arrested property dealer Silome James who had leased out the flat to Vishal, one of the hitmen, where he let Sonam and Raj stay.

The jewellery and other items she took with her after the crime were also taken to that flat, East Khasi Hills district SP Vivek Syiem told PTI.

Two other persons were also arrested from Madhya Pradesh.

Sonam, her alleged lover Raj Kushwaha and his friends Vishal Chauhan, Akash Rajput and Anand Kurmi were arrested earlier in the murder case.

Raghuvanshi, who married Sonam on May 11, went missing on May 23 during their honeymoon in Meghalaya. His mutilated body was found in a deep gorge in Sohra area of East Khasi Hills district on June 2.
