Indian Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has said that his wife Sunanda Pushkar’s demise was not a murder.
A report published in Times of India on Wednesday said that Tharoor claimed that Sunanda’s family also believes that her death was not a murder and that news items regarding this are “coloured stories”.
The MP made these statements while talking to the media after he appeared before Kerala High Court on an election petition regarding his win from Thiruvananthapuram constituency in the recent Lok Sabha elections.
Last year, Tharoor’s wife admitted she had hacked his account to send out messages exposing an alleged affair he was having with Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar.
The MP further told the media that Sunanda’s relatives support him and that he has nothing to hide in this matter. He said that the police team investigating the case has the freedom to question anyone, including Mehr Tarar. Tharoor further said that those who lost against him in the elections are trying to target him through other means, adding that he trusts the judiciary and has nothing to fear.
