Enforcement Directorate To Look Into IPL Money Angle In Sunanda Pushkar Murder Case


Delhi Police has written to the enforcement directorate to probe financial/IPL angle in the Sunanda Pushkar case. Earlier, Delhi's economic offences wing (EOW) was investigating this aspect. The EOW was probing the shareholding pattern of the now-defunct IPL team Kochi Tuskers.



The investigations revolve around the Rs 75 crore (4.75%) sweat equity offered to Sunanda by Rendezvous Sports World, a member of the consortium that won the Kochi IPL franchise.

Sunanda had to give up the equity later as it caused a furore after ex-IPL chief Lalit Modi tweeted the ownership pattern in 2010. Sources said that Sunanda — who was not married to Shashi Tharoor then — had been offered this equity in lieu of the funds she had arranged for the team.

The revelation had eventually led Tharoor, who was MoS home affairs at that time, to resign from his post. BCCI subsequently terminated the contract of Kochi Tuskers

"We are going through the background to understand the case. If required, the financial transactions will be probed," police commissioner BS Bassi said on Friday. He also confirmed that Shashi Tharoor will be quizzed again sometime next week.
