not clear if pushkar was murdered congress

New Delhi: The Congress Tuesday said it was not yet clear whether Sunanda Pushkar, wife of Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, committed suicide or was murdered.

"Not yet certain whether Sunanda's death was suicide or murder," party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi said here. That much was clear from what Delhi Police chief B.S. Bassi told the media, he said.

Pushkar was found dead in a luxury hotel Jan 17, 2014, a day after she and Tharoor checked in because their house was allegedly getting painted. Both had been married twice earlier.

Tharoor was then the minister of state for human resource development in the Manmohan Singh government.
