Sonali Phogat’s Daughter Says Her Mother Deserves Justice, Kin Want CBI Inquiry; Cops Say No Prima Facie Proof

Social
media
influencer,
actress
and
ex-Bigg
Boss
contestant
Sonali
Phogat’s
sudden
demise
has
left
everyone
in
shock.
The
BJP
leader
from
Haryana
was
reportedly
‘brought
dead’ to
the
St
Anthony
Hospital
at
Anjuna
in
North
Goa,
a
police
official
earlier
said,
adding
that
she
died
of
a
suspected
heart
attack.
After
her
sisters,
her
brother
Rinku
Phogat
also
filed
a
formal
complaint
with
the
Goa
Police,
claiming
that
she
was
murdered
by
two
of
her
associates.

Rinku
said
in
his
statement
that
Sonali
was
threatened
and
scared.
He
claimed
that
something
was
added
to
Sonali’s
food
after
which
she
complained
of
restlessness.
He
suspects
it
is
murder
and
wants
justice
for
her.
Recently,
Sonali’s
daughter
too
has
given
a
statement.
She
said
that
the
case
requires
proper
investigation
and
her
mother
deserves
justice.

The
15-year-old
girl
was
quoted
by
ANI
as
saying,
“My
mother
deserves
justice.
The
case
requires
proper
investigation
and
the
culprits
should
get
strict
punishment.”

As
revealed
earlier,
preliminary
reports
suggested
that
Sonali
died
of
a
heart
attack,
but
her
family
members
raised
suspicion
of
foul
play
and
demanded
a
CBI
probe.
The
autopsy
was
scheduled
for
yesterday
(August
24)
at
Goa
Medical
College
and
Hospital,
but
there
was
a
dispute
over
her
family’s
consent.
Sonali’s
brother
insisted
that
the
family
will
allow
an
autopsy
only
after
the
Goa
Police
register
an
FIR
against
the
two
associates.

Sonali’s
nephew
told
PTI
that
her
family
will
give
their
consent
for
the
autopsy
only
if
the
entire
process
is
videographed.

Meanwhile,
Director
General
of
Police
Jaspal
Singh
told
Times
Of
India
that
inquest
proceedings
are
underway
in
keeping
with
provisions
of
the
Code
of
Criminal
Procedure.
He
said,
“The
local
police
are
inquiring
into
the
cause
of
death
but
are
not
proceeding
any
further
due
to
the
family
insisting
on
a
murder
case
being
registered
first.
There
are,
however,
no
prima
facie
circumstances
to
do
this.”

will

delay

process
