Sonam and four of her aides were arrested last month, after being accused of killing her husband during their honeymoon in Meghalaya. 29-year-old Raja and 24-year-old Sonam got married on May 11 and went "missing" during their honeymoon trip to Meghalaya on May 23. 

Sonam surfaced in Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur on Sunday night where she surrendered after her accomplices and suspected contract killers, 19-year-old Akash Rajput, 22-year-old Vishal Singh Chauhan, and Anand Kurmi, were arrested for their alleged role in conspiring and killing Raja.

21-year-old Raj Singh Kushwaha, who was romantically linked to Sonam, was arrested later. 

Police officials stated that Raja Raghuvanshi was told by his wife Sonam that she would let him consummate the marriage only after making an offering at the Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati. 

Sonam and her boyfriend Raj Kushwaha allegedly plotted to kill him in the jungles of Meghalaya due to their secluded nature. They killed him near Weisawdong Falls and dumped his body into a gorge.

Sonam and her aides have been remanded to eight days of police custody by a local court.
