Claim
Police documents also stated that Sonam was suspected of having committed a crime outside India.
“पुलिस को सोनम पर भारत के बाहर कोई अपराध करने का भी शक था।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The police 'grounds of arrest' document served on Sonam Raghuvanshi did literally include the entry that she was 'suspected of being involved in an offence committed outside India', as documented in the Meghalaya High Court's bail order. The anchor's claim accurately reports what the police document stated. (Context the anchor omits: the High Court dismissed this entry as ridiculous, standardized boilerplate reflecting 'non-application of mind' rather than a genuine, substantiated suspicion — but the narrow factual assertion about what the documents said is correct.)
