A Special Investigation Team has been formed by Delhi Police to probe the mysterious death of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor’s wife Sunanda Pushkar after registering a murder case based on a medical report.
“We have formed an SIT to probe the Sunanda Pushkar case,” Delhi Police Chief B S Bassi said today.
The police commissioner also did not rule out questioning Tharoor, saying “whatever necessary will be done” in investigating the case.
Asked why a case of murder was registered almost a year after her death, Bassi said the final medical report from AIIMS warranted the FIR to be filed so that Sunanda’s viscera samples can be sent abroad for further tests.

Sources said a Delhi Police team visited a hospital in Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala recently where Sunanda was admitted days before she was found dead in a five-star hotel in Delhi.
“The team met the doctors who had treated Pushkar and questioned them about the ailment she was admitted there and asked them to share her medical records,” said a senior police official.
