He demanded that Sonam's family apologise to the Meghalaya Police.

“They should apologise to the Meghalaya Police. They have insulted them. The state police have done a wonderful job. They found my son, though dead. A thorough inquiry should be held and the culprits hanged,” he said.

Raja's another brother, Vipin Raghuvanshi, demanded an investigation by the CBI. “A CBI inquiry should be held to reveal more aspects of the case. Sonam's mother should be questioned. She has been hiding too many things. She has been lying right from the beginning,” Vipin told ANI.

Raja's mother, Uma Raghuvanshi, demanded justice for her son and strict punishment for the culprits. “I want justice for my son. The culprits should be be given a strict punishment. What had my son done? Why was he killed?” she told ANI.
