Union Minister Shashi Tharoor was hospitalised to the AIIMS in New Delhi last night, hours after his wife Sunanda Pushkar was found dead in a 5 star hotel in the city.

He had complained of chest pain and uneasiness last night.

Sunanda, who was upset over an alleged extra-marital affair between her minister husband and a Pakistani journalist, was found dead in a five-star hotel room which police suspect may be a case of suicide.
