In a shocking revelation, senior journalist Nalini Singh told that her deceased friend Sunanda Pushkar, wife of of former union minister Shashi Tharoor, has called her hours before the mysterious death and told her that her husband Shashi Tharoor was going to marry Pakistani journalist Mehar Tarar.
In her statement to the magistrate Nalini Singh said, “Sunanda said Tarar and Tharoor had exchanged intimate romantic messages and that one of the messages from Tarar implied that Tharoor was going to divorce her after the 2014 general elections and get married to Tarar. And that Tarar had written in a message that she could not live without him. Sunanda said Tharoor’s family was also encouraging this affair.”
“To my query if the Twitter messages posted from Tharoor’s account were genuine, she said they were completely genuine and that somebody who deeply cared for her had posted them in public space. Incidentally, she also said she had taken over the crimes of Tharoor in the IPL matter but did not state if she was going to expose the matter,” Singh added.
Nalini also said that Sunanda was worried for her heath.
“She also said she had checked into a hospital herself and that Tharoor had never taken her to a doctor or a hospital. She also mentioned Tharoor had a romantic liaison with another woman and mentioned about a flight from Pune,” Nalini said.
Sunanda’s domestic help Narain has also confirmed that the couple had fought continuously before Sunanda’s death in Leela Hotel earlier this year.
In his statement Narain said that the couple fought from midnight to 4am.
Earlier in the month the head of the forensics department at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Dr Sudhir Gupta, had claimed that he was asked to provide a false report in the Sunanda Tharoor mysterious death case.
Sunanda Pushkar, the wife of Congress leader and former Union minister Shashi Tharoor, was found dead mysteriously at Leela Palace hotel on January 17 this year. Her death shocked everyone as the couple released a joint statement expressing their solidarity just a day before, following a public spat between her and Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar over her alleged affair with Sashi Tharoor.
