unanda Pushkar, a businesswoman and wife of Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, was found dead in a hotel room on January 17, 2014. A whole year later, after much debate and deliberation, Delhi Police has confirmed her death to have been murder. And murder by poisoning, at that. What happened in that room number 345 of Leela Palace, New Delhi, is still something no one knows. But we might be getting closer to the truth now. "Medical report says she was poisoned, oral or injected we do not know, it is being investigated," confirmed Delhi Police commissioner BS Bassi to ANI.

I reiterate my request to bring this protracted inquiry to a clear and definite conclusion so as to put all speculations to rest, Tharoor told Hindustan Times.

Fishy? Very.

Tharoor's speedy response followed the allegation by Dr Gupta.

"From the beginning itself, I requested for a thorough investigation. The Pushkar family has also taken the same view and we all cooperated with the authorities well."
