A day after the controversy over the death of Sunanda Pushkar, the wife of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, took a new twist, her family on Friday said that it knew her death was planned.
On Thursday, her latest post-mortem report, submitted to AIIMS, was leaked, which claimed that Sunanda died due to “poisoning”.
Talking to a news agency, Ashok Kumar, a cousin of Sunanda Pushkar, said that the family knew it wasn’t a natural death, but was planned.
Raising questions over Tharoor, Kumar asked why would the Congress leader go out for a meeting when his wife was unwell. Even cameras weren’t working, Kumar pointed out.
Seeking justice for Pushkar, Kumar demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the incident.
The revelation about the autopsy report came around 10 days after the post-mortem report of the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) was submitted to the Delhi Police by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).
