With doctors who performed autopsy on Sunanda Pushkar maintaining that she died of poisoning, her husband and Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Saturday said he was awaiting police report on the death.

Lok Sabha member and former Union Minister of State for Human Resource Shashi Tharoor said here on Saturday that none of the relatives of his late wife, Sunanda Pushkar, had demanded a CBI investigation into her death.

Talking to presspersons here, Mr. Tharoor said her family still had faith in him.

A section of the media reported that a “relative” of Sunanda Pushkar, Ashok Kumar, had demanded a CBI investigation. “I never heard of such a relative of Sunanda.” he said.
