GIVING a fresh twist to the Sunanda Pushkar case, senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Monday claimed the wife of Union Minister Shashi Tharoor did not commit suicide and her death was a gruesome murder.
Swamy questioned Tharoor nervousness regarding his wife’s death, even as the Delhi Police investigation in the highprofile case is still not complete.
Sunanda was found dead in a posh Delhi hotel days after she was locked in a bitter Twitter row with Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar.
“ Why is Shashi Tharoor feeling so nervous? He should be one who should be standing up and say I want a complete inquiry to be done. Why did he get rushed through the cremation of his wife within a day? This is ridiculous. There are many things which are wrong with it," Swamy said, adding that Sunanda had horrific injuries above her belly and “ her nostrils were squeezed to open her mouth to administer Russian poison.” Interestingly, this is not the first time that Swamy has spoken on Sunanda’s private life. Earlier, Swamy had alleged that the Union Minister had misused his office to get his son out of prison in the UAE. " What prompted a Union minister from Kerala to use his office to get his son out of jail in UAE? Due to narcotic trafficking charges," Swamy had tweeted in the first week of January this year.
Tharoor had responded to Swamy’s charges, saying the allegations were " a bigot's perverse political agenda". The Delhi Police, on its part, has flatly rejected Swamy’s claim that he had got the details about Sunanda’s death through his “ sources in Delhi Police’’. “ I can’t comment on what grounds Mr Swamy is making these allegations when the probe is not yet complete,’’ a Delhi Police officer said.
Swamy claimed Tharoor wants to make his wife’s death seems like a natural death but the post- mortem reports stated that it was unnatural death. “ Why is Tharoor so keen to declare the case as death due to natural causes? We want to get to the bottom of the matter. What is the need to have no photos taken of her body? Whatever photos were taken was destroyed. The Delhi police probe is not moving forward.
Police sources told me in private that it is a gruesome murder,” he claimed.
The BJP leader also gave indication that when his party- led NDA comes to power at the Centre, he will “ take the case to its conclusion.’’ “ I will have to file either a public interest litigation, or when there is a government that is more responsive to the public like Narendra Modi's government. At that time, I will take it up and see that it ( the case) is brought to a conclusion,” he said.
