SIT to quiz Tharoor in Sunanda murder probe

The Delhi Police’s Special Investigation Team will question former Union Minister Shashi Tharoor on Thursday in connection with his wife Sunanda Pushkar’s death. According to sources, the questioning will focus on the Indian Premier League angle. The IPL controversy had broken out in early 2010 when Mr. Tharoor was the Minister of State for External Affairs. He allegedly misused his authority to transfer Rs.70 crore in the name of Sunanda.

“We are analysing the statements of the witnesses who have been questioned so far and a few other witnesses will be examined. On Thursday, Mr. Tharoor will be quizzed again because we need clarification on certain points from him,” Delhi Police Commissioner B.S. Bassi told reporters. Asked whether Mr. Tharoor’s domestic help Narayan Singh will also be questioned again, Mr. Bassi said: “The witnesses who were at home or were present at the hotel will be questioned again because we need a few clarifications from them.”
