Expressing satisfaction over the latest development in Sunanda Pushkar case and hailing the Delhi Police, the family here alleged that they knew that it was a ‘murder’ and were demanding CBI probe into the matter.
Sunanda, wife of former Union Minister Shashi Tharoor was found dead at a hotel room in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi last year. “With registration of ‘murder case’ in connection with the death of Sunanda Pushkar, our stand has been vindicated and we knew that it was not a natural death,” Ashok Kumar, Pushkar’s cousin brother here told reporters.
He said they were already demanding CBI probe into the matter, adding, “we already knew that it was not a natural death, and with police registering a case under ‘murder charges’, itself vindicated my position and I have been saying this from day one”.
Alleging that the former Union Minister (Mr Tharoor) was given a free way as he was being shielded by the then Congress Government but things are totally different now. “Mr Tharoor should be questioned by the police into the case,” he demanded.
The family had earlier also on October 10 last year alleging some foul play, demanded CBI probe into the ‘mysterious death of Sunanda Pushkar’ when a fresh report by AIIMS doctors revealed that she had died due to poisoning. (AGENCIES)
