Two held in connection with murder of politician

NEW DELHI, Aug 26 (BBC): Police in India have arrested two men in connection with the murder of politician and former TikTok star Sonali Phogat.

The arrests came on Thursday evening after a post-mortem revealed "multiple blunt force injuries" on her body. Phogat, 42, was visiting the western state of Goa when she died on 22 August. Initial reports said she had died from a cardiac arrest.

But her family disputed the claim and accused her associates of murder.

Naming two of her personal assistants, her brother alleged that they had been blackmailing her with an explicit video and had raped and murdered her.
