Thiruvananthapuram/Palakkad: Opposition parties in Kerala on Saturday demanded an independent and comprehensive probe into the death of former union minister Sashi Tharoor’s wife Sunanda Pushkar.
The demand came after Pushkar’s latest post-mortem report, leaked on Thursday, stating “poisoning” to be the cause of her death.
Pushkar, 52, was found dead in mysterious circumstances in her room at a five-star hotel in Delhi on January 17.
Echoing Divakaran, Communist Party of India-Marxist state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan said a comprehensive probe was needed to find the truth.
“There is a mystery in this case and the people would like to know the truth and for that it can be done only if there is a comprehensive probe,” he said.
In Palakkad, Tharoor said he has no comment to offer in this case as the probe is already on.
“I know what you are going to ask me, I have nothing to say and the only thing I have to say as I have said always said is let the ongoing probe be over. Let them look into all aspects,” he told reporters.
“Once the probe is over, I will react,” said Tharoor, who is in Palakkad on a personal visit.
