Gurugram: The investigation into the mysterious death of Haryana BJP leader and social media star Sonali Phogat in Goa last month has witnessed a new twist after the murder accused and Phogat's PA Sudhir Sangwan claimed her as his wife in the records. It is learnt that Sangwan had rented a flat in Gurugram and had entered Phogat as his wife in the mandatory Resident Information Form accessed by ETV Bharat.
The Goa police, which has been in Haryana for the probe into the case, had visited the flat even as it examined Phogat's house and farmhouse in Hisar. The police had also gone to Sudhir Sangwan's house in Rohtak and searched the Phogat's property of Green Society of Sector 102. The team of Goa police, along with the local police, went to the house of Sonali's PA Sudhir Sangwan located in Sector-34 in Suncity on Sunday and questioned Sudhir's family members.
