Murder case registered in Sunanda Pushkar's death case: BS Bassi, Delhi Police Commissioner.

Pushkar, wife of former Union Minister Shashi Tharoor, was found dead under mysterious circumstances in suite no 345 of Hotel Leela Palace in New Delhi.

While police suspected she might have committed suicide, the possibility of medicine overdose was not ruled out since Pushkar was undergoing medical treatment.

Inquest proceedings under Section 174 CrPC were initiated in the Sunanda case according to which a sub-divisional magistrate inquires into the death of a woman if she dies within seven years of her marriage.
