BJP leader Sonali Phogat's daughter 15-year-old daughter Yashodhara on Wednesday demanded a proper investigation into the death of her mother in Goa. Phogat's family had also raised questions over her death, saying they suspect a foul play.
"My mother deserves justice. The case requires proper investigation and the culprits should get strict punishment," said Yashodhara.
Phogat (42), the BJP leader from Hisar in Haryana who had found fame on Tik Tok, was "brought dead" at the St Anthony Hospital at Anjuna in North Goa on Tuesday morning, a police official earlier said, adding that she died of a suspected heart attack.
The Anjuna police had registered a case of unnatural death.
On Wednesday, Phogat's brother Rinku Dhaka filed a formal complaint with the Goa Police, claiming she was murdered by two of her associates.
Dhaka alleged that a short while before her death, Phogat had spoken to her mother, sister and brother-in-law during which she sounded disturbed and complained against her two colleagues.
He also claimed that the CCTV cameras, laptop and other crucial things from her farmhouse in Haryana have gone missing after her death.
Hours before her death, Phogat had posted some pictures and videos of herself on Instagram, in which she was seen flaunting her pink dupatta.
Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said the state police were conducting a detailed investigation into the death of Phogat.
