The family of Raja Raghuvanshi, who was allegedly killed by his wife during their honeymoon in Meghalaya, has welcomed a baby boy, a moment they believe is Raja's return.
According to the family, Raja was murdered on Gyaras, the eleventh day of the lunar fortnight. Nine months later, on the same day and at nearly the same time, his elder brother Sachin Raghuvanshi welcomed a son.
Raja’s brother, Vipin Raghuvanshi, said the timing was not a coincidence but a divine sign: “God has sent Raja back to us.”
The baby was born on Sunday and brought home on Monday evening. The family celebrated the occasion by decorating their home and placing a sign at the main gate that read “Raja Is Back.”
The mother and child were later welcomed in a decorated car.
The family described the occasion as one filled with joy, emotion and a sense of divine blessing.
