Sonali Phogat was declared dead on arrival by doctors at a Goa hospital on August 23. Initially, this was being treated as a case of accidental death due to a heart attack, but multiple 'blunt injuries' in the autopsy forced the police to lodge a murder case.
Later, the Goa Police said that Phogat was "forcibly drugged by her two associates".
