Several attended the last rites of 42-year-old Phogat which took place in Haryana’s Hisar. Initially, it was said that Sonali died of a heart attack but the narrative changed after the post-mortem report which stated that Phogat had multiple blunt injuries on her body.
CCTV footage of Sonali Phogat staggering out of a restaurant in Goa with the help of one of her aides, Sudhir Sangwan has thrown into light the events that happened hours before Sonali Phogat died.
The Goa police have arrested — Sudhir Sangwan and Sukhwinder Singh — in connection with the murder case of Sonali Phogat. Reportedly, Sudhir (the personal assistant of the deceased 42-year-old Haryana BJP leader and actress) confessed to having spiked her drink when they were partying at a shack.
Sonali Phogat’s family wants the CBI to look into the case. Talking about the motive behind killing her, her brother Rinku Dhaka told us, “Definitely property aur money ka hai. A theft had taken place at Sonaliji’s farmhouse in Hisar on February 1, 2021. During her stay in Goa, Sonaliji learnt that Sudhir and his aide planned it. She called us on the night of her murder to inform us about it and said that she would ask for a police investigation into the theft.”
He added, “Another theft took place at her farmhouse after her murder. Her laptop, mobile phone, and the CCTV footage were stolen. The caretaker of the farmhouse, Satish, informed us about it and we registered a complaint at the local police station.”
