New Delhi: Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma has said the state police will take what has been dubbed the "honeymoon murder" to its logical conclusion. 

We will do whatever it takes. Our government and state have been defamed (even though) none of the accused are from Meghalaya, he told NDTV in an exclusive interview. 

Raja Raghuvanshi, 29, and his 24-year-old wife Sonam -- newlyweds from Indore -- had arrived in Meghalaya for their honeymoon on May 21.

Three days later, they went missing and on June 2, after days of search, Raja Raghuvanshi's body was recovered from a gorge beneath Weisawdong Falls in East Khasi Hills.

The body bore multiple wounds, indicating murder and a hunt was on for his wife.

Sonam Raghuvanshi was arrested earlier today from Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh. The Meghalaya police suspect that she was having an affair and her boyfriend is also involved. 

The police said she had orchestrated the murder in connivance with her boyfriend, Raj Kushwaha, and hired contract killers to execute it. 

Sonam Raghuvanshi has claimed that her husband was killed while trying to protect her from a "group of men who attempted to snatch her jewellery,

said the owner of a roadside eatery in Ghazipur whom she had approached for help.
