Congress says Sonali Phogat death being hushed up; Goan leader Lobo seeks CBI probe

The Goan arm of the Indian National Congress on Saturday demanded a central probe into the death of Haryana BJP leader Sonali Phogat.

Leader of Opposition for the state, Congress' Michael Lobo said "there is more to it than meets the eye," while calling for a probe into the matter by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

Phogat died on August 23, in Goa, under mysterious circumstances. Originally presumed to be a heart attack, an autopsy led to Goa Police arresting two men, including her personal assistant.


"Many politicians said that her death was due to a heart attack. But finally, it has been revealed as murder. There is more to this murder than meets the eye and every angle needs to be investigated. These kinds of cases need to be investigated by the CBI to unravel the truth," said Lobo .
