Wife of Union Minister Shashi Tharoor, 52-year-old Sunanda Pushkar was found dead in a starred hotel in south Delhi on the night of January 17, a day after a Twitter spat with Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar over an alleged affair with her husband.
As Sunanda died within seven years of her marriage with Tharoor, inquest proceedings were launched in the case under which an SDM investigates the case.
In a report to the police, SDM Alok Sharma, who had recorded the statements of Sunanda's brother, son, Tharoor and his staff, had said that no family member suspected any foul play in the death.
The SDM in his report had concluded that Sunanda died of poisoning and had directed the police to probe the murder or suicide angle in the case.
The 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.
