In response to mounting pressure, Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant announced on Monday that the case involving the death of BJP lawmaker Sonali Phogat would be turned over to the CBI. He emphasized that the family of the late BJP leader and the Haryana government have made constant demands in this respect.
“We are giving the Sonali Phogat death case to the CBI. It is because we have been receiving consistent demands from Haryana and her family that it should be handed over to the central agency,” Sawant stated. He further added, “I will be writing to union home minister Amit Shah in this regard later today.”
Sonali Phogat, an actor-politician from Haryana, was discovered dead in Goa last month. Despite the fact that a heart attack was declared to be the primary cause of death, her relatives claimed foul play. Later, an investigation into drug overdose deaths was initiated.
The Goa Police Department opened a murder investigation after a post-mortem examination revealed “blunt force injury” on her body. According to the authorities, Phogat was “forcefully drugged by her two associates.” Following then, more arrests were made in the case.
On Sunday, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar stated that if the family was not pleased, the issue would be turned over to the central investigation agency.” ” We had asked for a CBI probe in writing, but they have stated that the Goa police would complete their own investigation first, and if the family is not satisfied with it, then the investigation will be handed over to CBI,” he was quoted as saying by sources.
