In his last Twitter post for the day, Tharoor said he would not be able to attend the Jaipur Literary Festival due to illness of his wife Sunanda Pushkar, who was found dead in a five-star hotel this evening.
"My wife's illness means i need to be with her & will miss all 5 events of #JaipurLitFest 2014." This was the last tweet posted by the Union Minister this evening.
Pushkar, who was upset over an alleged extra-marital affair between her minister husband Shashi Tharoor and a Pakistani journalist, was found dead in the hotel last night.
