Delhi Police may question Tharoor on Sunday

AGENCIES: Former Union minister and Congress MP from Thiruva­nanthapuram Shashi Tharoor, who was undergoing treatment at an Ayurvedic centre near Guruvayur in Thrissur district is likely to appear before the special investigation team (SIT) probing his wife Sunanda Pushkar's death on Sunday. 

Tharoor, who spoke to the media for the first time after the police registered a murder case into Pushkar's death last year, refused to engage in public debate on the issue. Tharoor also said he would fully cooperate with the Delhi Police in its probe. The police is expected to question Tharoor about the injury marks including the needle mark on Pushkar's left finger.

A source, quoted in Hindustan Times said,  “It is not interrogation but we have asked him to come forward and provide more details. His statement will help us fill the gaps in the sequence of events. There are some queries about the injection mark on her (Sunanda’s) finger. The KIMS hospital authorities in Kerala said there was no injection administered to her on her left finger.”

The police have also questioned Narayan Singh, Tharoor's domestic help. Singh told investigators that the couple had been fighting over another woman besides Tarar days before her death. 

According to sources police had a month back questioned Sunil Trakru, a family friend, who had visited Pushkar at The Leela Palace Hotel on January 15th . Pushkar was found dead on the 17th of January.
