BJP leader from Haryana and actor Sonali Phogat died of a heart attack in Goa, police said on Tuesday.

Sonali Phogat, a former Tik Tok star who had joined the BJP in 2019, was on a visit to Goa along with some of her staff members.

On Monday night, she was brought to St Anthony Hospital at Anjuna in North Goa district after she complained of uneasiness, sources said.

“Prime facie, the cause of death is established as heart attack but further medical examination is on,” he said.

The postmortem would be conducted at the state-run Goa Medical College and Hospital at Bambolim, the official said.

"She has passed away. I have been given information that she was in Goa," Haryana BJP chief O P Dhankar told PTI.

BJP Hisar district president Capt Bhupender said, "Sonali ji was in Goa. I spoke to her assistant and he said that she died of a heart attack".
