Sonali Phogat 'Murder': Goa Police Arrests 2; Autopsy Shows Physical Injuries

Goa Police arrested two associates of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sonali Phogat, Sudhir Sagwan and Sukhwinder Wasi, in connection with her murder case, on Thursday, 25 August.

This comes hours after Goa Police added sections of murder to the registered First Information Report (FIR). Her post-mortem report revealed 'multiple blunt force injuries' on her body.

The police registered the FIR against Sudhir Sangwan and Sukhwinder on the complaint of Phogat's brother Rinku Dhaka and said that a three-doctor panel conducted the post-mortem examination in the presence of family members.

Dhaka had claimed that Phogat was murdered by two of her associates. He earlier said that the family would only allow the post-mortem after the Goa Police registered the FIR against the associates.
