Phogat's kin have raised suspicion over the manner in which their sister died in Goa, where she had gone on August 22. "I received a call from her the evening before her death. She said she wanted to talk over WhatsApp and said that something fishy was going on. She had spoken to our mother later and complained of uneasiness after having a meal. She told my mother that her body had stopped working properly after eating," Sonali's sister, Rupesh, told ANI. Phogat contested the 2019 Haryana assembly election from Adampur constituency on a BJP ticket and lost to Kuldeep Bishnoi, who was then with Haryana Janhit Congress.
She became a household name after she appeared in the reality show 'Bigg Boss' in 2020. Hours before her sudden demise, Phogat had posted some pictures and videos of herself on Instagram. In the images, she was seen flaunting her pink dupatta. "My sister could not have had a heart attack. She was very fit. We demand a proper investigation. The family is not ready to accept that she died of a heart attack. She had no such medical problem," her elder sister Raman told ANI. The post-mortem reports of the deceased actor-cum-leader are expected soon.
