New Delhi: The Crime Branch probing the mysterious death of Sunanda Pushkar will go for advanced forensic tests to determine cause of injuries on her body as it tries to unravel whether it was a case of suicide, homicide or accident.
Investigators said autopsy report had mentioned more than a dozen injury marks on Sunanda's body besides a “deep teeth bite” on the edge of her left palm and they were trying to ascertain whether the injuries were “inflicted” on her.
They said doctors who conducted autopsy on her body had preserved Sunanda's skin samples where the injuries were found and the advanced forensic tests like histopathology will be carried out to determine how old the injuries were and its causes.
Union Minister Shashi Tharoor's wife Sunanda, 52, was found dead in a 5-star hotel in South Delhi on Friday night, a day after her twitter spat with Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar over an alleged affair with Tharoor.
The probe into the high-profile case was transfered to the Crime Branch yesterday considering its “sensitive nature” and “complexities” involved.
