India, June 14 -- In a fresh twist in the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case, a property manager in Indore has claimed that accused Vishal Chauhan rented a flat from him just a week after the murder took place in Meghalaya.

"Vishal Chauhan met me on May 30 and rented a flat in Dewas Naka for Rs.17,000 per month. He signed a contract and also gave a security deposit of Rs.34,000. I handed over the keys to him, but I am not sure he or any of his companions came there," Shilom James, a property management firm owner, told PTI.

James added that since the building is newly constructed, it lacks CCTV camera surveillance. He also confirmed that he had notified police about the rental soon after learning of Chauhan's involvement in the case.
