Congress MP Shashi Tharoor may be called in for questioning by the Delhi Police once again on Friday in connection with the alleged murder of his wife Sunanda Pushkar.
On Thursday also, Tharoor was called for questioning twice during the day. In total, he was questioned for about seven hours.
The police may call Tharoor again for questioning as, according to sources, some of his statements before police have been contradictory.
Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi today said, “We gathered detailed information from him (Tharoor) yesterday. Now his statement will be analysed.”
The former union minister was yesterday questioned over the ownership of Kochi Tuskers, a defunct IPL franchisee, to find out if Sunanda had received equity on his behalf from the franchisee.
Tharoor along with five people including his domestic help Narayan Singh and driver Bajrangi were called by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) for questioning at its Anti-Auto Theft Squad (AATS) office in south Delhi’s Vasant Vihar.
Police had constituted the SIT after registering a murder case against unknown people on January 1 this year.
Pushkar was found dead in a luxury hotel room on January 17, 2014 under mysterious circumstances.
