New Delhi, April 1 (IANS) The family of late transport businessman Raja Raghuwanshi, who was tragically killed by his wife Sonam Raghuwanshi in Shillong, is finding solace in what they believe is Raja’s rebirth as the son of his brother.

The newborn child of Raja’s brother, Sachin Raghuwanshi, has drawn attention from the family due to striking similarities with the late Raja in both physical appearance and horoscope, prompting them to name the baby Raja.

Speaking to IANS, Raja’s mother, Uma Raghuwanshi, said, “I have full faith that Raja has been reborn in our house because the child bears a mark of injury similar to one Raja had in his life. We received a message from Kamakhya Mata Mandir that our son wished to be reborn in our home. His rebirth has brought immense happiness to our family. The child resembles Raja — his eyes, his nose… When he was born and placed in my lap, he looked straight at me. Even his kundali matches Raja’s.”

Vipin Raghuwanshi, Raja’s brother, added that the family had received a prediction from the priest of Kamakhya Mata Mandir prior to the child’s birth.

“I got a phone call from temple’s priest who said, in your family, anybody bearing a child should not abort because Raja is coming back. We asked him, whose child is this? We have three sisters and three brothers, and we have nine children. Raja was the youngest among them. My elder brother Sachin’s child has now brought Raja back to our family,” Vipin said.

He further revealed astonishing coincidences surrounding the birth. “The priest told us that Raja is going to return, and that’s what happened.”

About the birth time and the horoscope he said, “Everything was the same—the horoscope and the stars. The birth date was same as the death date. Raja was killed on the 11th, and the child was born on the 11th yesterday, at 2:42 am, the exact time.”

Vipin added that the arrival of the child has changed the atmosphere in their household. “The environment of our house has changed. We have named him Raja,” he said.

The family believes that this extraordinary series of events has brought hope and closure to their grief following the tragic loss of Raja.
