New Delhi: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Sunday returned to the national capital, saying it is his duty to cooperate in the investigation into the death of his wife Sunanda Pushkar even as the Delhi Police said it will not question him as of now.
“It is my duty to cooperate with the police investigation and not to undermine the probe in any way,” Mr Tharoor said while heading back to Delhi on a flight from Kochi after a fortnight-long stay for Ayurveda treatment at Guruvayur.
A senior Delhi Police official said that they were not going to question Mr Tharoor for now as they want to first examine all other people related to the case and look into available evidence.
“As of now we have no business with him. We would like to question his aides and others including the hotel staff. We would like to collate all the available material relevant to the case and then take a decision on the issue of examining Mr Tharoor,” he said.
Another official associated with the probe said that in a couple of days, they will move “letter rogatory” in a local court for sending viscera samples to a lab in the US or the UK.
