They had met Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar in connection with the matter and had demanded a CBI probe. The Chief Minister had given assurance of the CBI investigation into Phogat's death case.

"We (Phogat's family) have written to Chief Justice of India UU Lalit for a CBI inquiry and will also approach the Goa High Court with a writ petition by Friday if we are not satisfied with the top court's response," Vikas Singh, Sonali Phogat's nephew told ANI.

He said, "Goa Police is not supporting us. We think that there is also some political influence behind this, so now we will move to Goa High Court. We have no faith in the ongoing police investigation."
