Sunanda Pushkar’s son Shiv Menon has ruled out any possibility of her committing suicide.
In a media statement he has said that his mother Sunanda Pushkar was too strong to commit suicide.
“Anyone who knew my mother would simply know that she was too strong to commit suicide,” Shiv Menon said.
He also defended Sunanda’s husband Union Minister Shashi Tharoor for harming her physically.
“I also do not believe that Shashi was capable of physically harming her, let alone the speculation that he could have taken her life. They were very much in love, despite occasional differences, which they always overcame,” Shiv Menon wrote in the letter.
“It was an unfortunate combination of media stress, tensions and a wrong mix of different medications. Her death was peaceful and she passed in her sleep,” the letter said.
“Please let her soul rest, I think there has been enough attention drawn towards her life – let us at least let her rest in her passing,” it added.
