The FIR has been registered under section 302 of IPC following the complaint made by Phogat’s family.
Phogat’s autopsy was conducted today after her family members gave their consent.
Speaking to India Today, Phogat’s nephew, Moninder Phogat, said, “We have now given our consent for the autopsy.”
“We have given consent to the police because our lawyers and doctors suggested that after 72 hours, the body will degrade further,” he said.
“We have been assured that a panel of doctors will look into the procedure and it will be videographed as well,” he said.
Sonali Phogat breathed her last on August 23. Her sister had alleged a conspiracy as she said, “Sonali felt uneasy after eating her food”. Earlier, Anjuna Police had registered a case of unnatural death. On August 23, at around 9 am, Sonali Phogat was reportedly brought dead to the hospital.
