Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has said that he is ‘stunned’ to hear that the Delhi Police have filed a case of >murder against unknown persons in connection with the death of his wife Sunanda Pushkar, and offered full cooperation with the investigation.
In a press note e-mailed to newspaper offices from the MP’s office here on Tuesday, Mr. Tharoor said he was joining all members of Sunanda’s family in asking for full information about the basis on which the police have come to this conclusion.
The statement reads as follows: “I am stunned to hear that the Delhi Police have filed a case of murder against unknown persons in the demise of my late wife Sunanda. Needless to say I am anxious to see this case is investigated thoroughly and continue to assure the Police of my full co-operation. Although we never thought of any foul play in the death of my wife, we all want that a comprehensive investigation be conducted and that the unvarnished truth should come out.
“In the meantime I join all members of Sunanda's family in asking for full information about the basis on which the Police have come to this conclusion. We have not been provided with copies of the post-mortem report and other reports of the inquiry like the CFSL report till date. We repeat our request for a copy of these reports to be provided to us immediately.”
