BJP leader and Bigg Boss fame Sonali Phogat died in Goa last month. Her case was being investigated by Goa Police so far and the cops found a murder conspiracy in the case. However, Sonali’s daughter and family members have been demanding for CBI probe into the matter and their request has been granted. Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has confirmed that Phogat’s case has been handed over to CBI.
As reported by Hindustan Times, the CM mentioned that this development comes after persistent demands made by the BJP leader’s family members and the Haryana government. Pramod Sawant was quoted saying, “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. I will be writing to union home minister Amit Shah in this regard.” ALSO READ: Sonali Phogat MURDER Case: Sudhir Sangwan Admits To KILLING Her; He Brought BJP Leader To Goa As Part Of His Conspiracy-Report
