Taking forward its probe into the Sunanda Pushkar murder case, the Delhi Police has written to the Pakistan High Commission here, asking it to facilitate the questioning of journalist Mehr Tarar in the case.
The development comes just days after Delhi Police said that it may question the Pakistani journalist over whom Sunanda fought with her husband Shashi Tharoor before her death last year.
Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi had said that Tarar may be questioned as she may throw light in the case.
“If required, we will speak to her as she is a relevant person who can throw light in the case. Our efforts will be to talk to her,” Bassi had said when asked whether the Special Investigation Team probing the case will examine her.
Tarar had earlier said that she was ready to answer any question on the issue.
“If they want to ask me anything…If they want to ask me any question whatsoever that they think…I can answer,” 46-year-old Tarar had said a day after Delhi Police had registered a murder case into Sunanda’s death.
