A day after Haryana BJP leader Sonali Phogat’s death, her family has raised serious concerns over the mysterious circumstances under which she passed away. The 42-year-old actor-turned-politician passed away on Monday night after she suffered a heart-attack on Monday night. A case of “unnatural death” has been registered by the local police.
Demanding a CBI probe, her sister Rupesh told news agency ANI, “My sister cannot have a heart attack. She was very fit. We demand a proper investigation by the CBI. My family is not ready to accept that she died of a heart attack. She had no such medical problem.”
