BJP Leader Kuldeep Bishnoi killed Sonali Phogat: family makes new allegations

New Delhi: According to reports by ANI and ABP News, Rinku Dhaka, the brother of the late actor and BJP leader Sonali Phogat has accused another BJP leader Kuldeep Bishnoi of killing his sister.

Dhaka made the new allegations at the Sarv Khap Mahapanchayat, which was convened in Hisar. According to the family Sonali’s PA Sudhir Sangwan was asking questions about Kuldeep Bishnoi a couple of days after her death, which made them suspicious.

Family sources also alleged Sangwan was also trying to get in touch with Bishnoi the next day after her death but could not do so as his phones were confiscated by the Goa Police. The mobile numbers were saved on his phone and he did not have access to it.

Sandeep Bharti, a spokesperson for the Khap, told news agency ANI that the Sarv Khap Mahapanchayat wants Kuldeep Bishnoi to present his side and clarify his stand in response to claims made by Sonali’s family members.

“I had sent one of my acquaintances to the hospital after Sonali’s death, and Sudhir Sangwan, who is one of the accused in the murder, had enquired whether the person was sent by Kuldeep. One of our acquaintances was in Goa. After Sonali’s death, we called him and sent him to the hospital. When he reached, Sudhir Sangwan met him and asked where was he from. When he said that he is from Hisar, Sudhir immediately asked if Kuldeep has sent him. He didn’t say anything, but Sudhir again asked the same question in the car,” said Rinku Dhaka, as quoted by news agency ANI.

Khap Mahapanchayat spokesperson Sandeep Bharti said that the family openly alleged that BJP leader Kuldeep Bishnoi appears to be the conspirator in this matter.

“The police have acted to divert the investigation, but the family and Sarv Khap believe Kuldeep is under suspicion. In the previous Khap Panchayat also, many representatives had levelled allegations against him. Therefore, Kuldeep should clear his stand before the Khap,” the spokesperson was quoted by ABP News as saying.

Bharti further said, “Otherwise, there will be a big Mahapanchayat of Sarvsamaj in Adampur on 23 October and if the family is not satisfied then they will think against them to take a decision. A delegation will meet the Chief Minister and ministers of the Central Government, including family members, to explain the suspicion that the CBI probe is not affected. Goa Police has done its investigation in a weak manner,” Bharti said.

A family member who did not want to be named said Bishnoi took extra interest in the case and was very keen on knowing the latest developments and updates. He had tried to contact Sangwan before he was arrested, but Sangwan’s phone was with the Goa police and was switched off.
