Goa govt to request Union Home Ministry to hand over Sonali Phogat case to CBI

The Goa government will write to the Union Home Ministry, requesting that the case of BJP leader Sonali Phogat’s death be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Speaking to reporters in Panaji today,  Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said Goa Police had done a tremendously good investigation into the case and had got some clues. He said, due to the demand of people from Haryana and also Sonali Phogat’s family, the government has decided to write to the Home Ministry to hand over the case to the CBI.

The Chief minister said, he will personally write a letter to the  Home Ministry.  Phogat, the BJP leader from Hisar in Haryana, died in Goa last month and her death is being treated as murder.

Goa Police had arrested five people, including two of Phogat’s aides. The police have booked her two aides on the charge of murder.
