Sonali Phogat's daughter demands CBI investigation, says 'not satisfied with current probe'
Hisar (Haryana), August 30: BJP leader Sonali Phogat's daughter Yashodhara on Tuesday demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the alleged murder of her mother, alleging that the family is not satisfied with the probe conducted by the Goa Police.
Yashodhara Phogat also said that Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar had assured of a CBI probe into the case. Notably, Sonali Phogat's family had met Khattar on August 27, after which the Chief Minister had assured of a CBI probe into the case.
However, the BJP leader's daughter said that "no action has been taken as of yet".
"I demand a CBI probe as I'm not satisfied with the current probe. No action is being taken. The accused have been kept in Goa, they have yet not revealed their motive (behind the murder), so what are the police doing? It's about justice for my mother, we won't stand back until there is a CBI investigation. CM (of Haryana) said that CBI probe will happen but no action has been taken as of yet," Yashodhara said.

She further alleged that the murder of her mother "was planned".
"My mother had told me that there would be shooting for nearly one week in Goa. But it comes to the fore that the resort was booked only for two days. It suggests that it was a planned murder," she added.
Sonali Phogat, 42, was declared dead on August 23 at the St Anthony Hospital in Anjuna, North Goa. A post-mortem report found blunt force injury on her body, after which the Goa Police registered a murder case.
Earlier, Goa Police informed that Sonali Phogat was forcibly drugged by her two associates. Both the accused -Sudhir Sangwan and Sukhwinder Singh- are now arrested.
