In a letter sent to the Director General of health services, >Delhi Police have requested for forming a special team to guide them on the final conclusion on the medial reports made by the AIIMS, on the death of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor's wife Sunanda Puskar.

Sources said the letter was written by Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Prem Nath seeking the final opinion on the reports given by the AIIMS forensic department on the death of Ms. Pushkar.

Sources further added that the >AIIMS report, which included the doctors' own observation of the viscera report , had a few points on which the investigators needed further clarity.

Delhi police had sent her viscera to FBI to test the kind of poison that led to her death. That >report had ruled out radio active poisoning .

>Sunanda was found dead in a south Delhi's Hotel room on January 17, 2014. A case of murder was registered in January last year on the basis of autopsy report and circumstantial evidence.

The SIT has not yet ascertained whether she had consumed the poison orally or someone had injected that into her body.
