Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said that the alleged murder case of TikTok star and BJP leader Sonali Phogat will be handed over to the CBI on Monday amid continued demands to do so by the people of Haryana.

"I have faith in the Goa Police. They are conducting investigation in a good way and have got good clues. But considering the demand of the people of Haryana, I am giving it (case) to the CBI today," Sawant, who also holds the Home portfolio said.

Phogat had come to Goa on August 22 and was staying at a hotel in Anjuna. She felt uneasy that night and the next morning she was taken to the St. Anthony's hospital where she was declared brought dead.

Goa Police on August 26 arrested Sudhir Sangwan (Phogat's PA) along with Sukwinder Singh in connection with her alleged murder.

Methamphetamine drugs were allegedly given to Phogat, while she was partying in Curlie’s restaurant.
