"We always felt that there was foul play and the same thing came out. So far, we are satisfied with the ongoing investigation... We demand justice," said Rinku, brother of Sonali Phogat. Phogat's brother stated that the post-mortem report showed four injuries and poison as the cause of death.
"We have been declining the cause to be heart attack since the very beginning. It's a planned murder; we suspect PA Sudhir Sagvan & associate Sukhwinder. They have been equally involved," he added.
Meanwhile, the brother of Sonali Phogat on Thursday had claimed that her postmortem report showed injury marks on her body.
