Chum Darang raises her voice

The chatter around the murder of Raja Raghuvanshi in Meghalaya raised concerns for tourism in the state, with several travel agencies facing cancellations. Now, Bigg Boss 18 fame Chum has reacted to the whole stir and defended the Northeast region of India.

Taking to her Instagram story, Chum wrote, "This Raja Raghuvanshi case had me shook beyond words. I am sure everyone was worried for the 'wife' after the news of Raja being found. But never did I think she would be behind all this. Breaks my heart."

She added, “Also, I saw a lot of people were blaming the locals, the state, the region, to find out what? I am not saying NE states mein crime hota nehi hai, but sidha logon pe ungli uthana acchi baat nehi hai ((I am not saying the northeast states are crime free, but it is wrong to point fingers at the people). My condolences."
