Sunanda Pushkar murder: Shashi Tharoor to be quizzed soon by SIT, says Delhi Police

New Delhi: Police commissioner B.S. Bassi on Friday hinted that Congress MP Shashi Tharoor will be questioned ‘soon’ by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) which is probing the mysterious death case of his wife Sunanda Pushkar.

“I think in the next couple of days, all the key persons who have to be questioned by us will be questioned. We would like to complete it soon. I think the SIT will soon do it,” he said.

He also denied reports that the viscera samples which are almost one-year-old must have been spoilt by now and would not reveal the kind of poison that caused Sunanda’s death even if it is sent abroad.

“The samples are kept with preservatives, they have a shelf life. Unless there are some issues with the way they have been kept or the way they were preserved during sampling they will not get spoilt,” Bassi  added.
