A local court in Meghalaya has granted bail to two co-accused in the murder case of Indore businessman Raja Raghuvanshi, who was allegedly killed during his honeymoon in May this year.

The accused, Lokendra Singh Tomar and Balbir Ahirwar, were granted bail on Friday, according to reports by PTI. Tomar is the owner of a flat in Indore where Sonam Raghuvanshi, the prime accused and wife of the deceased, had reportedly stayed after the incident. Balbir Ahirwar worked as a security guard at the same property.

Both were charged with obstruction of justice and tampering with evidence.

Raja Raghuvanshi was reported missing on May 23 in Meghalaya. His body was found in a gorge in East Khasi Hills district on June 2. His wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, and her alleged partner, Raj Kushwaha, were arrested and are currently in judicial custody, along with three others accused of direct involvement in the murder.

On July 4, the court extended the judicial custody of Sonam and Raj Kushwaha by 14 days.
