Social media helps in Sunanda Pushkar death probe

Police had written to Yahoo, Google, Twitter and Facebook for details

New Delhi: With forensic evidence not providing much headway in the probe into the Sunanda Pushkar death case, Delhi Police is now banking on the conversations she had with various people including Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar on social networks to unravel the mystery.

Police had written to Yahoo and Google, two platforms on which Pushkar had her email accounts, and also to Twitter and Facebook for details of her social networking pages.

Investigators have already received the desired information from Yahoo and Google while Twitter and Facebook have sought clarification from the police regarding what it actually wants.

According to sources, Yahoo and Google had provided information regarding Pushkar’s email and chat conversations with various persons on these platforms.

They have also shared with Delhi Police the IP addresses of those, with whom Sunanda was in touch.

Based on the information, police has made a list of the people with whom the wife of former Union minister Shashi Tharoor had communicated and who may now be quizzed in this regard.

Investigators are of the view that the messages exchanged on various social networking sites will reveal Sunanda’s state of mind in which she died.
