Problem query json fields using eloquent ORM

Here is the situation My model's got a json feild (getting stored as longtext in Mariadb 10.6.20-MariaDB-cll-lve) and I need to query and find in this feild.

Using elequoent ORM this is my query Model::whereRaw('JSON_CONTAINS(search_keywords, ?)', [45]); and calling toSql() on it returns following select * from `blogs` where JSON_CONTAINS(`search_keywords`, ?) when ->get() is called It returns empty array.

Now when I run the same command directly on my sql server which is as follows select * from blogs where JSON_CONTAINS(search_keywords, JSON_QUOTE('45'));

I get the desired output. I need to be able to query json as it is important part of a feature I am supposed to build
