"Police are investigating the case. At present they (accused persons) are in custody. Be it drug peddler or anyone else, those involved in murder of BJP leader Sonali Phogat will be punished," he said.

"Goa is touristic state. Various types of tourists come here. We welcome them as 'Atithi Devo Bhava'. The tourists should not face any problems," Sawant said.
