Panaji, September 23

A court in Goa on Friday extended the judicial custody of two persons arrested in connection with the death of Bharatiya Janata Party leader Sonali Phogat.

Phogat (43) was brought dead to a private hospital in Anjuna on August 23, with police claiming she was given an “obnoxious” substance mixed with water to drink.

The Mapusa Judicial Magistrate First Class extended the custody of Sudhir Sagwan and Sukhwinder Singh by 14 days, a police official said. The two, charged with murder, are lodged in the central jail at Colvale.

The official also said the Central Bureau of Investigation’s plea to interrogate Sagwan and Singh in jail has been allowed by the court.

The case is being probed by the CBI, a team of which is in the coastal state.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
