Meghalaya Minister Alexander Laloo Hek on Tuesday demanded for an apology from the families of both Sonam and Raja Raghuvanshi for trying to ‘tarnish’ the state image and its people regarding the ongoing murder case. 

Talking with ANI Meghalaya Minister Alexander Laloo Hek said, "We are thankful to the Meghalaya police for the breakthroughs in the ongoing investigation of the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case. Now we are seeking an apology from Sonam and Raja Raghuvanshi's families for tarnishing the image of Meghalaya and its people. We will file a case of defamation if they don't comply."

"The accused will be brought here since the incident took place in the state. We do not have any issue if they want to hand over the case to the state police, central police or the probe agency, but the truth has already prevailed," said the Minister.
