AAP Questions Goa Government In Sonali Phogat's Death

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday questioned the BJP government and Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant for trying to create a narrative that there was nothing suspicious in the death of BJP leader and social media influencer Sonali Phogat.

"The family of the victim has filed a written complaint suspecting rape and murder and has even named the suspects including her personal assistants. The sister of the victim has stated that Sonali felt uneasy after her meal, and told the sister that something fishy was going on," said State president Amit Palekar.

The brother of the victim has claimed that Goa Police is not cooperating with the family. "On what basis is the CM certifying "cardiac arrest" as the cause of death, when the family has confirmed that the victim was physically fit and is suspecting foul play? Why is Sawant ignoring the appeal for justice by the 15-year-old daughter of the victim?" Palekar asked.
