Inspector General of Police Omvir Singh Bishnoi said that an FIR under Section 302 (murder) has been registered at the Anjuna Police Station based on the complaint filed by the brother of Phogat.

"The case was registered on Thursday following a complaint by Rinku Dhaka -- the brother of Sonali Phogat. He had made allegations against two persons and we have started questioning them," Bishnoi said.
