Reiterating that Goa Police are conducting a thorough investigation, Sawant said that if Khattar continues with his request to hand over the case to the CBI, then the state government will think over it.

“Full report of the investigation, which has taken place till today, will be sent to Haryana Chief Minister and DGP Haryana by today evening,” Sawant said.

“The Haryana Chief Minister had called me yesterday. He told me that Phogat’s family members have met him. He has requested to give the case to the CBI if required. The Goa government is open to handover the case to the CBI. At present investigation is on. But if required we are ready to give case to CBI,” he added.

Sawant further that the Goa government will not tolerate drug trade in the coastal state, adding: “The Anti-Narcotics Cell is working, I will take the report directly from DGP.”

“Nobody involved (in this case) will go scot free. Those involved will go behind the bars. Cases will be filed against them. So far five persons are arrested.”

Phogat had come to Goa on August 22 and was staying at a hotel in Anjuna.
