Meanwhile, family members on the BJP leader reiterated their demand for a CBI probe into the case, saying they are not satisfied with the investigation being conducted by the Goa Police.

Phogat, 43, a former TikTok star and a contestant on the reality TV show "Big Boss", was brought dead to a hospital in north Goa on August 23, a day after she arrived in the coastal state with two other people.

Police have said Phogat was administered methamphetamine drugs at a restaurant hours before her death. So far, they have arrested five people, including Sudhir Sangwan.
