The Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority has filed an affidavit opposing owner Linet Nunes' plea, stating the popular beach shack cum nightclub in North Goa that came in news over BJP leader and social media influencer Sonali Phogat's death violated green norms.

Phogat, a BJP leader from Hisar in Haryana, was brought dead to a hospital in Goa early on August 23, a night after she was found partying at the restaurant at Anjuna beach.

In a CCTV footage from Curlies that emerged after her death, she was seen dancing with one of her aides, who purportedly spiked her drink.

So far, arrested five people have been arrested in connection with the case. These include Phogat's two aides who accompanied her to Goa, two alleged drug suppliers and the co-owner of restaurant Edwin Nunes. Nunes was later granted bail.
