A court in Goa has granted bail to Sudhir Sangwan, prime accused in last year's murder of Haryana-based BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) leader Sonali Phogat.
Phogat (43) died in Goa's beach village of Anjuna in August last year, after partying with her two associates, both of whom were accused of administering her banned drugs. She had arrived in Goa with the two male aides – Sangwan and Sukhwinder Singh – a day before the incident. They were accused of drugging her in a resort and later at a nightclub, where they were partying.
The district and sessions court on June 23, granted bail to Sangwan and directed him to furnish a bail bond of ₹1 lakh.
