Sunanda Tharoor's death : Coz of Drug Poisoning

police ordered to investigate cause of poisoning

The Delhi Police has been ordered to determine whether the death of Sunanda Pushkar Tharoor was accidental, a suicide, or murder.

The inquiry into the death of Mrs Pushkar, the wife of union minister Shashi Tharoor, was ordered today by a Delhi magistrate, based on the autopsy that said the 52-year-old died of poisoning. Doctors at Delhi's AIIMS who conducted the post-mortem said that her death was "sudden and unnatural" and that she had injuries.  

Mrs Tharoor was found dead in a luxury hotel in Delhi on Friday, days after she disclosed that she had uncovered evidence of her husband's alleged affair with a Pakistani journalist, whom she targeted in a series of tweets.

However, a day after that, the Tharoors issued a statement that said they were "happily married."
