LIVE! Sunanda Pushkar murder: Who is 'Sunil saab?'

January 09, 2015 13:32

There's yet another twist to the Sunanda Pushkar murder mystery.

Media reports say that former union minister Shashi Tharoor's domestic help Narayan Singh told the Delhi police that a man named 'Sunil' had visited Sunanda Pushkar at the Hotel Leela Palace two days before she was found dead.

Narayan, who was again questioned yesterday, told cops last year that 'Sunil sahab' had assisted Tharoor's wife Sunanda in posting messages on Twitter and also in copying some of the tweets.

The domestic help has also revealed that Sunanda had told Tharoor over phone from the hotel that he was "finished" as she had revealed everything to the media and that the couple had been fighting frequently over the last one year.

Sunanda was found dead in a south Delhi hotel room on January 17, 2014 in mysterious circumstances.

Police registered a murder case earlier this week based on a final medical report by AIIMS which said she died due to poisoning.
