Sonali Phogat Last Rites
The politician-actor died under mysterious circumstances in Goa on August 23. The last rites of Haryana BJP leader Sonali Phogat were held in Hisar on Friday with a large number of people turning up to pay their last respects. A number of Phogat's fans also turned up at the cremation site.
Phogat, who started her career as a news anchor, later found fame on the video hosting platform TikTok and also acted in a few movies.
On Thursday night, her body was moved here from Goa via Delhi. Later, the mortal remains were kept in the mortuary of Civil Hospital Hisar. The body was later taken to her farmhouse here in the morning for people to pay their last respects.
Phogat was brought dead to St Anthony Hospital at Anjuna in North Goa district on August 23 morning from her hotel. Doctors had then said prima facie it appears she died of a heart attack.
Sonali Phogat's Family suspects Murder
However, a post-mortem report mentioned there were "multiple blunt force injuries" on her body, prompting the Goa Police to press charges of murder against two of her associates Sudhir Sagwan and Sukhwinder Wasi.
Police on Friday said the leader was fed some "obnoxious chemical" through her drinks by her two aides during a party at a North Goa restaurant which apparently caused her death.
Shortly before her last rites, Phogat's brother Rinku Dhaka reiterated that her death was not because of natural causes and an in depth probe was needed to bring out the truth.
