My daughter is innocent, Meghalaya police are making up stories: Sonam Raghuvanshi’s father

In the Indore couple case, Devi Singh, the father of Sonam Raghuvanshi, has claimed that his daughter is innocent and accused the Meghalaya police and government of making up stories and lying.

Speaking to reporters, Singh said Sonam arrived at a dhaba in Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur and called up her brother, following which the police officials went to the dhaba and took her to hospital.

"My daughter is innocent. I have trust in my daughter. She cannot do this. They got married with the consent of both families. The Meghalaya government has been lying from the beginning. My daughter came to a dhaba in Ghazipur on Sunday night and called up her brother. Police went to the dhaba and she was taken to hospital. I have not been able to speak to my daughter. Why will she do such a thing?" he said.

Accusing the Meghalaya police of lying, Singh demanded a CBI probe.

He said, “The Meghalaya police are lying. My daughter reached Ghazipur on her own. She was not arrested in Meghalaya. We were thinking of meeting the Madhya Pradesh CM and Union Home Minister Amit Shah to request a CBI inquiry. The Meghalaya police are making up stories. Let the CBI inquiry begin, all officers at the police station (in Meghalaya) will be behind bars.”
