Authorities in Meghalaya's East Khasi Hills district have launched a significant search operation for an Indore couple who mysteriously vanished while touring the region. Raja Raghuvanshi and his wife Sonam were last seen after checking out from a homestay in Nongriat, East Khasi Hills SP Vivek Syiem reported on Tuesday.
The couple ventured to Mawlakhait village without a guide, and their mobile phones were last detected there. Their rented two-wheeler was abandoned at Sohrarim village, triggering an immediate response from local police and villagers.
