Sonali Phogat's family to approach High Court demanding CBI investigation

Expressing dissatisfaction over the probe by the Goa Police into the death case of BJP leader Sonali Phogat, her family will approach the Goa High Court demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation probe into the matter.

This comes after Goa Police investigation which is underway in the case in Haryana`s Hisar for nearly four days, in which it has also collected important evidence.

Sonali Phogat`s family had met Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar in connection with the case and had demanded a CBI probe. 

The Chief Minister had assured of the CBI investigation. However, being dissatisfied with the ongoing investigation, the family has decided to go to Goa High Court with their demand.

Expressing dissatisfaction over the ongoing probe by the Goa Police, the nephew said that they have no faith in the police investigation.

Earlier on August 30, Sonali Phogat`s daughter Yashodhara Phogat demanded a CBI probe into the alleged murder of her mother while also stating that the family is not satisfied with the probe conducted by the Goa Police.

She said that Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar had assured of a CBI investigation into the case.

The family of Sonali Phogat had met Khattar on August 27, after which the Chief Minister had assured of a CBI probe into the case.

However, according to the deceased BJP leader`s daughter, "no action has been taken as of yet".

Meanwhile, in a response to the alleged murder of Sonali Phogat, Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant earlier said that a confidential report had been sent to Manohar Lal Khattar, the chief minister of Haryana and the charge sheet would be filed soon.

Earlier, Goa Police had said that Sonali Phogat was forcibly drugged by her two associates who are now arrested after being named as accused in the case.
