Delhi police to question Mehr Tarar over Sunanda Pushkar death
28
NEW DELHI: Delhi police will question Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar over the mysterious death of Sunanda Pushkar — the wife of former Indian minister and former United Nations diplomat Shashi Tharoor, said a report published on The Times of India.
Sunanda Pushkar was found dead in her five-star hotel room in the Indian capital in January 2014, after publicly accusing Tharoor of having an extra-marital affair with Tarar.
Almost a year after her death, police opened a murder investigation earlier in January.
After an autopsy initially concluded Pushkar probably died of an overdose of anti-depressant drugs, Indian police said in Jan that she was poisoned and a case was registered.

"Tarar is a relevant person in the case... If necessary, she will be examined," a report published on NDTV quoted Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi as saying.
An official communique will be issued soon in this regard, Bassi said.

In a tweet posted on her official Twitter account, Tarar said: "No comments. And that is my only comment."

Incompetent Delhi police! Took 1 year to file FIR! Unbelievable to say the least!
So many high profile murders & many has still not been solved! Lately Delhi has become the laughing stock to the world!

@Hashim Khan Probably they will have to come to Pakistan. I read the following in an Indian newspaper, "According to reports, Tarar said she would cooperate with the Delhi Police in the case. However the Pak journalist said that she would not be coming to India to answer to the probe. Tarar is rumoured to be cause of fall out between Sunanda Pushkar and Sashi Tharoor. Tarar and Pushkar even had a Twitter fight."

Where ever but she will definitely present herself for the interrogation. After all she cannot lock herself out of India for the rest of her life. She will cooperate.

If any body, it is Shashi Tharoor wo should at least be a person of interest, right from the get go, if not outright a suspect. All circumstantial evidence points in his direction but Tharoor being a very prominent politician of international stature, he can not be investigated.

Where is Asad Rauf???? His international career is over. If this lady is innocent she should be answering questions, if not in India than perhaps in Dubai, as she is linked to the story. May be she is innocent maybe not.

BJP leader Subramanian Swamy is absolutely categorical Shashi Tharoor killed Sunanda. He said this on a national TV channel unequivocally as if he was there at the scene. So why delay matters unnecessarily.

This is a joke. Tharoor is innocent. Forensic evidence is in his favor. She either comitted suicide or accidentally overdosed. They want to implicate him. He is another high profile congress politician they want to get, since they are out of power. Sad situation.

@Sandeep Singh Singh Ji. I know about the digital age thank you for refreshing my memory. I don't think the law-enforcement interrogates over the digital media. You can easily lie on in digital media. They are also interested in the body language of the alleged perpetrator.

@Jehangir Khan AIIMS has found some nuclear molecules in her body. That element is very rare and over a year only about 10 gms is created all over the world.
Samples have been sent to US labs for more research. Its a high profile murder with some serious nuclear angle. So didn't die because of suicide. Check facts please.
