However, according to multiple media reports, the police came across Jitendra Raghuvanshi’s name while probing the money trail in the case.

As per the reports, Sonam paid the hitmen using a bank account that was registered in the name of Jitendra Raghuvanshi.

According to Sonam’s brother, Govind, Jitendra is their cousin, and the UPI ID Sonam was using was linked to their cousin’s bank account.

Notably, Raja’s family had also demanded a thorough probe, and his mother had suspected that more people could be involved, as Sonam, 25, couldn’t do such meticulous planning all alone.

While it is not yet clear if Jitendra knew about the murder plan, his role remains under the scanner.

Meanwhile, Sonam and the four other accused, including her alleged boyfriend Raj, have been remanded to 8-day police custody.
