The investigation into the murder of slain BJP leader and actress Sonali Phogat has gained momentum with more details coming out in the open. “It was a well-planned murder more people other than those who were arrested are involved in the murder. Before the murder itself, a conspiracy was mooted by the accused persons to steal all the documents related to her property and wealth. Her computer and other gadgets were stolen from her farmhouse hours before the murder. The theft had a clear purpose,” said an investigator who doesn’t want to be quoted as he was not authorised to talk to the media. The police are investigating whether the caretaker of her farmhouse, Satish, has any role in the conspiracy.
A senior police officer has briefed Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal about the progress of the investigation being carried out in the state.
Sonali’s close relatives have also confirmed that the theft had taken place at her farmhouse. “Besides her laptop and mobile phone, CCTV footages have been taken away. We learnt that the accused had quarrelled with my sister and the Goa trip was planned against her wishes,” said Sonali’s brother Vatan Dhaka.
Sonali’s relatives had met the Chief Minister who assured them that all efforts would be taken to unravel the truth. “We want the case to be thoroughly investigated. The family wants to know why they did it and at whose behest they did it,” Vatan Dhaka said.
