But when Sunanda's son was asked to give his opinion of him, he refuted all allegations.
Sunanda's son from her second marriage, Shiv Menon issued a statement, denying any possible role of Shashi Tharoor in his mother's death.
“Do not believe that Shashi was capable of harming her let alone the speculation that he could have taken her life.”
“Shashi Tharoor would never physically abuse my mother. Though there were differences between them they were deeply in love with each other,” he added.
Shiv rubbished any foul play in her death attributing it to “an unfortunate combination of media stress, tensions and a wrong mix of different medications.”
