Families React to the Shocking Crime
- Raja’s family believes that if Sonam is guilty, she should be punished.
- His mother, Uma Raghuvanshi, said Sonam had good behavior but added:
If she killed my son, she should be hanged. - Sonam’s family, on the other hand, is supporting her, saying she can never kill anyone.
