NEW DELHI: Breaking his silence on the issue, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor said on Saturday that he has always been cooperating with the police and is awaiting their report on the death of his wife Sunanda Pushkar.
Meanwhile, Pushkar’s son Shiv Pushkar Menon asked the Delhi police to conclude the inquiry into his mother’s death expeditiously and impartially and expressed dismay at people “conjecturing” on the cause of her death.
“I have been cooperating with police from the first day itself. I have sought a report in the beginning itself and I am awaiting it. I have not heard anything from the police yet,” Mr Tharoor said.
In a statement, Mr Menon, currently in Dubai, termed the recent speculation in the media surrounding the death of his mother as “deeply disturbing” and said he joins his stepfather Shashi Tharoor in again requesting the investigating officers to conclude the inquiry “expeditiously and impartially”.
“The tragic loss of my mother has already caused too much agony to all of us. We have full faith in the police and hope that the unvarnished truth regarding her death would soon be known. We request everyone to wait for the conclusion of the inquiry. We demand that the police give us a copy of their report as soon as it is completed,” he said.
Meanwhile, the report of Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee seeking action against Mr Tharoor for praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi is under the consideration of the disciplinary panel of AICC.
