Congress MP Shashi Tharoor is likely to be questioned again next week in connection with his wife Sunanda Pushkar’s mysterious death as police looks to join the pieces in the case.

Tharoor was questioned by police on January 19 for around four hours at the office of Anti Auto Theft Squad (AATS) in South Delhi’s Vasant Vihar.

Sources today said the Special Investigation Team is likely to question the former Union minister again next week as they got very “little time” with him on January 19.

They also said that as he was the “closest relative” of the deceased at the spot when she was found dead, he may be questioned several times as the SIT would want to ask him about the things which would arise during examination of other witnesses and people concerned.

Speaking to reporters on Friday, Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi had also indicated Tharoor can be questioned in this connection again in “some days“.

“Whatever we had spoken to him during the first questioning is being analysed and if we need further questioning, it will be done. Since it is a very involved case, there would be a need to talk to him again, so the SIT will call him again in some days,” he had said.
