The Bharatiya Janata Party leader and actor Sonali Phogat's death brought a new turn when the post-mortem results came out. According to reports the autopsy mentions that the body had multiple blunt injuries. Goa Police has opened a murder case following that. An old video of her dancing rather uncomfortably with her assistants surfaced.
Sonali Phogat hails from Haryana and got married early in life to Sanjay Phogat. They have a daughter named Yashodhara. Sanjay Phogat passed away in 2016 under mysterious circumstances. Sonali Phogat joined BJP back in 2008 and has contested in elections. Phogat has featured in a film called Motherhood in 2019. Phogat's social media presence was quite dominating as she was a well-known TikTok star who put up videos of herself dancing to popular songs. In 2020, Phogat participated in the popular television show Bigg Boss.
On August 22, 2022 Sonali Phogat was declared dead when she was rushed to St Anthony Hospital at Anjuna in North Goa. Allegedly she started feeling uneasy while eating at a restaurant with her personal assistants Sudhir Sangwan and Sukhwinder Wasi. The cause of her death was initially told to be a heart attack according to the reports. But her family accused her PAs of foul play as her sister requested CBI to investigate her death."My sister cannot have a heart attack. She was very fit. We demand a proper investigation by CBI. My family is not ready to accept that she died of a heart attack. She had no such medical problem," a sister of hers named Rupesh told ANI.
