    What's the story

    The alleged murder of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sonali Phogat has brought the limelight back to 'Curlie's' restaurant on Goa's famous Anjuna beach after 14 years, PTI reported.

    Phogat (42) had visited the restaurant on Monday night and was declared brought dead at a private hospital on August 23.

    Earlier, the restaurant hogged the headlines in 2008 when a British teenager died there.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    The death of Phogat, a former Bigg Boss contestant and content creator shocked many people in the entertainment and political circles.

    As per reports, she was visiting Goa with her staff and reportedly suffered a heart attack based on a preliminary report by a team of doctors.

    However, the police on Thursday registered a murder case following the postmortem.

    Background

    Curlie made headlines in 2008 rape and murder case

    The restaurant gained headlines during the investigation into the 2008 death of British teenager Scarlett Eden Keeling.

    Keeling's mother then claimed that her daughter went to 'Curlie's' shortly before being sexually molested and abandoned on the beach.

    On the other hand, Phogat's death was previously assumed to be the result of a heart attack.

    However, her relatives suspected foul play.

    Details

    What do we know about the previous case?

    According to the evidence on record, the British teenager was taken to Curlie's before arriving at the Lui's Shack, where she died, advocate Vikram Varma, a counsel who represented her mother, Fiona Mackeown, told PTI.

    The evidence also showed that she might have already been drunk with deadly substances prior to coming to Lui's Shack, he claimed.
