Shashi Tharoor on the other hand was preoccupied with Congress party's meetings the entire day. He came to her the following evening.
Since the two had a fight a night before, he knew that she hadn't slept well. So he decided not to disturb her. After an hour or so, he entered the suite only to find her lying dead.
Shashi was taken aback by the shocking turn of events. He immediately rang up the police and hotel authorities. And the rest, as we know, is history.
On one occasion, Shashi recalled the tragedy and said that life without Sunanda was painful for him.
