The Goa government on Monday recommended a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe in the Sonali Phogat murder case.

The Goa government on Monday recommended a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe in the Sonali Phogat murder case. On Sunday, Sonali Phogat's family had also met Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar seeking a probe by the central agency as they were unhappy with the investigation done by the Goa police.

"We completely trust Goa police, but due to the demand of Sonali Phogat's daughter, I have recommended a CBI probe," Goa CM Pramod Sawant said.

"Goa Police received many good clues in the case and Sonali Phogat's daughter and family demanded a CBI probe into the matter. I have also received requests from many people. I will write a letter to the Home Minister to hand over the case to the central agency," he said.
